Peak is an unincorporated community in Barnes County, North Dakota, United States. It is located five miles east of Valley City. [2]
Peak was so named for being situated at the peak of the grade for a Northern Pacific railroad stop built here in 1884. It was originally called Alta, and changed to Peak in 1923. The station had a siding but not a depot. It was also the junction of two lines, but the station was removed in 1960 when the low line was removed. The name Peak was then applied to the elevator built in 1915 that lays a half mile west of the station location. [3]
