North Pole Villages

 Yes, there really are 3 Villages plus the Toy Warehouses and the Reindeer Junction Switch Yard and the Parks and Greenhouses at the North Pole. And don't forget the Top of The World Mall.

The villages are located approximately 20 miles apart on a circle around the North Pole that is about 10 miles across and approximately 60 miles around. 

The primary transportation between the villages and other areas is the North Pole Circle Railroad.

Santa's Village

Santa's Home

 Santa's Village is located at 0 Degrees Longitude, on the Prime Meridian, approximately ½ mile south of the actual North Pole, not the magnetic North Pole.

Don't worry, because of Christmas Magic, and some help from the Northern Lights, none of Santa's 3 Villages or the railroad are normally visible. Even radar won't spot them.

  • Santa's Village holds the international headquarters for all of Santa’s activities
  • Population was 2,158 as of January 1, 2021
  • The village includes the North Pole Medical Center, a Fire Station, St. Nicholas Chapel, and primary and secondary schools
  • Santa’s herd of approximately 100 reindeer is located at the edge of the village
  • Reindeer Junction Railroad Station is located on the "East" side. It is the main terminal for the NPCR and the northern terminal for the Polar Express

Toy Town

Some of the Toy Warehouses

Toy Town is located approximately 120 degrees "East" of Santa's Village and approximately 20 miles south of the actual North Pole, not the magnetic North Pole.

  • Population was 2,143 as of January 1, 2021
  • Home for all toy manufacturing, wrapping  
  • The photo above shows four of the 64 large warehouses where toys are stored until they are wrapped and labeled and put into bags for Santa to deliver

Tech Town

The Old West at the North Pole

 North Pole Center for Research & Development, otherwise knows as Tech Town is located  approximately 120 degrees "West" of Santa's Village and approximately 20 miles south of the actual North Pole, not the magnetic North Pole . .

About 50 years ago the Elves who live and work there decided that "Tech" was short for "Texas" in the United States. So they set up a historic western town with the main railroad line running right down the middle of the street. They even appointed a "Sheriff", the only "law officer" at the North Pole. His primary duty is to greet tourists and help them when they get lost.

  • Population was 742 as of January 1, 2021
  • All research and development into toys, medicine, communications, travel and more are located here
  • The North Pole University is here
