Overly, North Dakota
Overly is a city in Bottineau County in the State of North Dakota. The population was 18 at the 2010 census.
==History==
Overly was founded in 1905 as a railroad loading station along the Soo Line Railroad.〔 Overly's post office was established August 21, 1905, and service discontinued November 9, 1996.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Postmaster Finder )〕 The city now shares the ZIP code of 58384 with nearby Willow City.
For many years, the city thrived as a railroad center, serving as a crew transfer point for the railroads traveling east and west along the line. The railroad installed a roundhouse for servicing locomotives as well as coal and water facilities. A popular pastime for city residents was to gather at the rail depot on the edge of town to watch the trains in the mornings and evenings. Many speculate that the town's name was meant to describe the numerous rail crews that "laid over" in town during the shift changes. Others say the town is named for Hans Overlie, an early settler.〔
The United States Census Bureau recorded a high population of 193 in 1920. Wheat shipments and the city's status as a railroad hub seemed to indicate future growth, but the frequency of trains dwindled until the 1950s when trains just passed by without stopping.〔 The railroad tore down the roundhouse and other facilities,〔 commercial businesses closed down,〔 and the city began a steady population decline to just 32 by the 1980 Census. The Census Bureau currently places the 2008 population of the city at 17 people.
