Enderlin is a city in Ransom and Cass Counties in the State of North Dakota. The population was 881 at the 2020 census, and was estimated to be 851 in 2024.
Local folklore suggests the name is derived from the semi-German "End der Line" ("end of the line"), as the city was briefly the terminus of the Soo Line Railroad's main line through North Dakota. Another explanation is that the name was suggested by the wife of a Soo Line official and comes from a fictional character in a book. It was the deadliest tornado to occur in North Dakota since 1978, and was the first confirmed EF5 tornado to occur worldwide in 12 years after the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornado.
