According to beachnd.com, Golva is known as "The Biggest Little Town on the Prairie". The web site notes, "There were thoughts of building the town of Golva in 1913, but once the railroad went through in 1915, the town began to take off. The railroad, built with horses, mules, and wagons, was completed in 1916. In 1920, the Catholic Church (the one where Gerhard and Clara were married) was moved from Burkey, ND to Golva and stood until 1968 when it was torn down and a new church was erected...."
