The World’s Smallest Gas Station is in Minnesota

The World's smallest gas station is in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.  The, 3 ½-foot-by-4-foot Standard station was right downtown next to where the Graystone building is today.

According to a recent article in the Detroit Lakes Tribune: "In 1937 the tiny station was featured in “Ripley’s Believe it Or Not” publication (before it became a TV show) and was also featured in a 1949 issue of “Science and Mechanics” magazine."
