Aneta is a city in Nelson County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 222 at the 2010 census.[5] Aneta was first settled in 1882 and incorporated as a city in 1893.

History

Aneta was first settled in 1882. It was named after Anna Roseta Mitchell, the first woman settler in the community. Because the Sheyenne River flows nearby, the town was nicknamed, "The Queen City of the Upper Sheyenne." In 1896, the Great Northern Railway extended a branch line 28 miles from Hope to Aneta and the city quickly became a boomtown.

In 1893, Aneta incorporated as a city, which in North Dakota required a population of 500. At the time, its population was 512. Only 100 residents voted in the election - 59 for, 39 against, and 2 spoiled votes. A subsequent election for mayor (held in Thayer Hall) resulted in Mayor George F. Thayer. Municipal services were provided to residents as follows: school in 1897, telephone in 1899, electric lights in 1912, civic auditorium in 1927, water in 1955, sewer in 1960, and paved streets in 1965.

Aneta's Post Office was established 1883 and railroad station established 1896. Aneta was incorporated as a village October 1897 and as a city in May 14, 1903. (ND Centennial Blue Book Page 502)
