Mose is a ghost town in Griggs County, in the U.S. state of North Dakota.[1] Founded in 1899, Mose is regularly known as "The Town That Blew Away" due to a large derecho[citation needed] which occurred on July 14, 1943.
History
A post office was established at Mose in 1904, and was in operation until 1954.[2] Mose had approximately 30 inhabitants in the 1930s.[3] The town was largely destroyed due to a derecho[citation needed] that devastated the town, causing most inhabitants to move to other towns in the area.
