Ross is a city in Mountrail County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 97 at the 2010 census.
Ross was founded in 1902. It was the site of the first structure built in the United States specifically intended to serve as a mosque. Established in 1929, the mosque fell into disrepair and was dismantled. In 2005, the edifice was rebuilt by the family of one of the last remaining Muslims in the area. The community that built the mosque were Syrian-Lebanese immigrants who settled the region starting in the late 19th century to take advantage of the Homestead Act. The mosque was featured on NPR's Weekend Edition on Sept. 12, 2010.
