Billings, Montana
Bordered on the
north by distinctive rock formations known as rimrocks, Billings was
established in 1882 with the coming of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Two
years later the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroads arrived and
further boosted the economy. Today it is a major shipping center for
cattle and other agricultural products.
Billings is where
Montana Territory began, and where your historical and cultural ‘passport’
to the legendary West begins. Use Billings as a central point to the best
western attractions, events, hospitality, shopping and cuisine.
