Divide County, County in North Dakota, United States.
Located in the northwest corner of North Dakota, Divide County encompasses 1,294 square miles of rolling hills and agricultural landscapes with numerous lakes and ponds.
The county was established in 1910 following a vote that split Williams County into northern and southern portions, with Crosby designated as the administrative center.
The population of Divide County reflects strong Norwegian and German heritage, with these ancestries representing over 75 percent of residents according to demographic studies.
The county maintains several major transportation routes, including U.S. Highway 85 and North Dakota Highways 5, 40, and 42, connecting residents to neighboring regions.
