Zap is a small town in North Dakota. Zap is located in Mercer County and, according to the 2010 US Census, has a population of 237.

In 1969, a student at North Dakota State University, Chuck Stroup, came up with the idea of "Zip-to-Zap" for spring break because he couldn't afford to travel to Florida. Publicity about the event grew even though the small town was ill-prepared to deal with thousands of students arriving for spring break. What started out as a spring break get-together quickly turned into the only riot in North Dakota's history. Local security forces were overwhelmed and the cafe and one of the bars were completely destroyed. The North Dakota National Guard was called in. Bills for the damage, estimated at more than $25.000, were eventually paid by the student governments at North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota.
