13 of the World’s Most Unusual International Borders

On one side of the street, you’re in Derby Line, Vermont. Stand on the other side, and you’re in Stanstead, Québec.

The border between the U.S. and Canada goes right through these two towns (which basically function as one), straight through businesses and along a main street named Canusa Avenue. In one area, the border is even made up of flower pots. No one knows exactly why the line was drawn through these towns in the early 1700s, though some attribute it to a simple mapmaking error. Nevertheless, Derby Line and Stanstead have chosen to embrace it. The curling hall is in both countries, and so is the library. There is a customs house and border patrol, however, so if you’re out crossing the road, you’ll need to show a passport.
