Sanger is a ghost town in Oliver County, North Dakota, United States. Founded in 1879, the town was originally known as Bentley. [2] It was the county seat until 1884, when the community was renamed Sanger. Never a large community, the former town is most notable for being the birthplace of Hazel Miner, a local heroine who sacrificed her life to save her brother and sister in a 1920 blizzard. The town declined during the 20th century, and was fully abandoned by 1985. [3] The site is located about 40 miles north from Bismarck, and is a short distance from the west bank of the Missouri River.
