History

Westhope North Dakota border inspection station shortly after its construction in 1937

Border inspection services were first conducted at this crossing in 1931. The US first built a permanent inspection station at the border in 1937. That brick veneer roadside border station was replaced by a new building in the 1974, and that facility was replaced by a large modern border station using Recovery Act funds in 2011.[1] Canada's Coulter border station, which was built in 1947, was replaced in 2013.
