Page "Tuttle, North Dakota" Paragraph 5

Like many other small towns on the North American Great Plains that were settled in the early 20th century, nearly a century after its founding Tuttle has experienced the closure of many business which has paralleled a population trend of outmigration of young people to larger cities and a subsequent aging of its population.

Today, Tuttle is without a bank, a school and newspaper, but is home to a well stocked co-op grocery store and grain elevator.

Although the railroad track that caused Tuttle to be platted was removed around 2004, improved roads and access to Interstate 94 has reduced the isolation of Tuttle.

The cities of Bismarck and Jamestown are approximately a one hour drive from Tuttle, and are therefor accessible to Tuttle residents.
