Rugby, North Dakota claims to be the geographic center of North America but it all depends on what is included as part of North America.

If you include Central America, the geographic center of North America is still in North Dakota, but in Pierce County, 6 miles west of Balta, North Dakota at approximately 15 miles (24 km) from Rugby, North Dakota.
