The Antler–Lyleton Border Crossing connects the cities of Antler, North Dakota and Pierson, Manitoba. The town of Antler reached its peak poplulation in 1910 at 342 residents, but a hundred years later it had dwindled to just 27.[1] In 2015, Craig Cobb announced plans to purchase vacant home sites in Antler and establish a white supremecist community. The remaining residents of Antler have worked to purchase all the vacant property in advance of Cobb in an effort to thwart his plans.[2]
The United States replaced its border station in 2011. Canada replaced the Lyleton border station in 2013. This is the westernmost border crossing in Manitoba.
