N.D. (AP) – The tiny southwestern North Dakota town of Amidon has lost its claim to fame.

A sign outside the Slope County town boasts that it’s the smallest county seat in the nation. But the 2010 census put the town’s population at 20 and Gann Valley, South Dakota now has the distinction of being the nation’s smallest county seat, with 14 people.

Amidon is near two tourist attractions. The Burning Coal Vein Campgrounds and White Butte, the highest point in North Dakota. Mayor Jerry Erickson says he thinks there are 33 people now living in the community.

Erickson says Amidon might set up its own City Hall, rather than borrowing space in county-owned buildings.
