"In traveling around the country one of the first questions we ask each other is "Where are you from?" Surprisingly, quite often people know where Ambrose, North Dakota is.  Some have visited relatives here, or knew a teacher who taught here.   Some have worked in the area, leaving with the impression that Ambrose has served its purpose as a town, but is now on its way to extinction, as are many small towns throughout the Midwest.  However, those who still maintain a home here continue to enjoy the beauty the early citizens established."     -- Divide County History 1974, Crosby, North Dakota
