Canton City is a city located in Pembina County, in the state of North Dakota, USA, and its economy is based specifically on the agricultural sector, however, there are small businesses in different sectors.
Although the town is also known and called Hensel, its legal name is Canton City.

Canton City Postal Service
The postal service or mail service has a deep mark on the small town, which according to reports, began with the arrival of the Hensel Post Office - a name that characterized the town from 1890 onwards. The name Hensel, in fact, is the birthplace of the first postmaster - Joseph Erwin - appointed on February 5, 1884. Erwin left behind the town of Hensel, Ontario, Canada, to settle in Canton City.
Service at the Canton City Post Office was halted late Thursday afternoon, June 1, 2023, after police cordoned off the front door of the post office with yellow tape, followed by a printed notice posted stating: The Canton City (Hensel) Post Office has been closed indefinitely due to safety concerns. Post office customers can pick up their mail in the town of Cavalier.
iNewZ.TV's Neil Carlson explained that Pembina County Sheriff Terry Meidinger has not released any information about the post office closure.
