nome nd is in what county
September 10, 2014 Comments 21 comments. This is Nome, North Dakota, in Barnes County, about 20 miles southeast of Valley City. I was delivering books earlier this week and stopped to shoot Sheldon, North Dakota since I was in the area, and the highway took me right through Nome as I was on the way home, so I pulled-in and grabbed a few shots. According to the 2010 Census, there are 62 residents of Nome, North Dakota.
