Bowesmont is an unincorporated community in Pembina County, North Dakota, United States. Bowesmont is located along a BNSF Railroad line near Interstate 29, north of Drayton. The community was initially named Alma for Alma, Ontario in 1878; the name was changed to Bowesmont, for William Bowes, the town's first shopkeeper, six months later.〔 According to legend, Bowes won the right to name the town in a card game. Bowesmont was devastated by flooding of the Red River in 1997. Only an old church is left in what is now a ghost town.〔http://=www.ghostsofnorthdakota.com/2009/12/01/bowesmont-church〕 An annual pilgrimage occurs the second Sunday of July where old friends, family and neighbors meet in the old church to celebrate what was the town they loved.〔https://www.fema.gov/pdf/about/regions/regionviii/jurnys32.pdf〕 ==Notable residents==
*Harold Keith Johnson, Chief of Staff of the United States Army from 1964 to 1968
