Don Baker Carlyle Carlyle was a small, farm town on the Northern Pacific branch line that originated in Beach, North Dakota. It was typical of the time that the area settled at the turn of the century, featuring grain elevators, a saloon, post office, mercantile, hotel, and school. It is located about a mile west of the North Dakota state line and about a mile north of the Fallon County line in Wibaux County. Its southern neighbor, Ollie, but six miles away sin Fallon County, Montana. 221 citizens called it home in 1940.
Today there are none.
And all that remains are the grain elevators and the school. Carlyle is twenty miles north and five miles east of Baker. Charles Abrams tells the story of settling in Montana in 1909. I was born in Mclean County, Illinois, south and west of Chicago, close to Bloomington. My father especially liked race horses.
