History

[edit | edit source]

The St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway reached Devils Lake in 1885, though the village was not incorporated until 1887. The railroad merged with the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad in 1889 to become the Great Northern Railway (GN). In 1907, the GN spent $50,000 to build a new station at Devils Lake.[3]

The station is a contributing property to the Devils Lake Commercial District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[4]

In 2025, Amtrak completed a $4.5 million renovation of the station to improve accessibility. The project included a 300-foot (91 m)-long platform with a snowmelt system.[5]
