Noonan is a city in Divide County, North Dakota, United States. The population was 137 at the 2020 census. Noonan was founded in 1907 and named after a family that had business, farm, and coal interests in the area. It was once known as "The White City" because of an ordinance requiring all buildings to be painted white. It is the birthplace of Gerald W. VandeWalle, who served a record-longest 45 years on the North Dakota Supreme Court beginning in 1978, including 26 years as its Chief Justice, from 1993 to 2019.
