Emmet [1] was a small rural community in McLean County, North Dakota, United States. It is about twelve miles west of Garrison. [2] There is no longer anything at the location, although it may still be marked on some maps. [3] Emmet was in existence until at least 1966. [4]

Naming

The community was founded in 1903 with the name of Robinson (not to be confused with the current Robinson, North Dakota, which is in an entirely different location). It was renamed Emmet by Charles Laudenbeck when he took over as postmaster on 2 September 1905. He named it after his young son, Emmet. [2] The population was 3 in 1940. [5]
