Heaton

Heaton is an unincorporated community in Wells County, North Dakota, United States. It is located 20 miles west of Carrington. Heaton was heavily damaged by a tornado in 1910, and some blame the decline of the town on that event. The storm killed two people and destroyed both of the town's grain elevators, and demolished the hardware store, the pool hall, the city hall, the depot, and many residences. Nonetheless, by 1930 Heaton's population was 400, double the population it had before the 1910 tornado, suggesting that the tornado was not the cause of the community's decline.
