AREA HISTORY<br />
L<br />
ong before Lewis and Clark arrived in the Gallatin Valley, the<br />
Native Americans referred to it as “The Valley of Flowers”,<br />
a result of the right mix of moisture and sunshine producing<br />
gorgeous flowers. The valley’s name is derived from the<br />
Gallatin <strong>River</strong>, so named by Lewis and Clark to honor President<br />
Thomas Jefferson’s Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin. Although<br />
Mr. Gallatin is the namesake for this world-class river, its fertile valley<br />
and the magnificent mountain range, the honorable statesman never had<br />
the opportunity to visit our nation’s frontiers. Foreign service took him<br />
to Europe, not out west to explore mountains and prairies. However,<br />
because of his interest in conservation, he was a worthy namesake for<br />
this abundantly beautiful area.<br />
Early Europeans may have entered the Gallatin Valley in the late 1700s as<br />
— 14 —<br />
they trapped for beaver pelts to send back east for hats and coats. Lewis<br />
and Clark’s Corps of Discovery left the first written descriptions of the<br />
valley in both 1805 and 1806 during their epic journey. A gentleman from<br />
Georgia named John <strong>Bozeman</strong> was looking for gold and established the<br />
<strong>Bozeman</strong> Trail as a shortcut connecting the Oregon Trail to the gold rush<br />
Territory of Montana. Many followed this trail for gold but stayed in the<br />
valley to take up farming, ranching, logging, and business.<br />
<strong>Bozeman</strong> was incorporated in 1883 and grew steadily, reaching a population<br />
of 3,500 by 1900. <strong>Bozeman</strong> is now one of the fastest-growing micropolitan<br />
cities in the nation with a population in 2020 of 52,000 – not including<br />
approximately 16,000 full-time students at Montana State University,<br />
and the rapidly growing and developing greater Gallatin Valley that now<br />
exceeds 118,000 people.
