Coleharbor is a city in McLean County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 59 at the 2020 census. Coleharbor was founded in 1904.

History

Coleharbor was laid out in 1904 when the railroad was extended to that point. The name combines that of a Soo Railroad official (W. A. Cole) and a reference to an older site on the Missouri River a few miles to the southwest (Coal Harbor). In July 2006, three storms converged above the town, unleashing a derecho that resulted in significant damage around town, even blowing down part of the former school building (made of brick), while leaving the nearby grain elevator intact.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.19 square miles (0.49 km2), all land.
