History

Rhame was founded in 1908 as Petrel, North Dakota, when the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, the "Milwaukee Road," established a station here. The post office was established February 8, 1908, but was changed to Rhame in June 1908, since Petrel was already in use for a railroad station in neighboring Adams County.[5] The city and surrounding Rhame Township were named for Mitchell Davison Rhame (1846 – 1913), who was a district engineer for the railroad.[6]

Rhame incorporated as a village in 1913. It became a city in 1967 after the North Dakota Legislature eliminated incorporation titles for villages and towns. As a result, all incorporated municipalities in North Dakota automatically adopted a city form of government.[7]

Rhame had a weekly newspaper from 1908 through 1953: Rhame Review [8](1908-1918), Farmers Review[9] (1918-1920), Rhame Review (1920-1953).[10] The editor beginning in 1918 was Alfred D. Fuller, a person born Hattie Fuller who then identified as a man after moving to Chicago as a young woman.[11]

Education

Rhame was home to Rhame High School until 2006 when it consolidated with nearby Bowman High School to form Bowman County High School which is located in Bowman, North Dakota. Rhame is still home to Rhame Elementary School.

The 1956 novel Prairie Schoolma'am by Emily E. Sloan was set in Rhame.[12]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.51 square miles (3.91 km2), all land.[13] The city's elevation of 3,192 feet (973 m) makes it the highest town in North Dakota.[6]
