None of these historic parishes remain active today.

Why does North Dakota's "Greek Orthodox" church history look different from other states?
Many of North Dakota's early 20th-century Orthodox churches were built by Ukrainian immigrants and historically used the term "Greek Orthodox" to describe Eastern Orthodoxy generally, a common naming convention at the time. These parishes were not affiliated with the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, which is why the state has no listed parishes in this directory today.
