Welcome to Buffalo, Montana

Buffalo was named for the great, native Montana animal that served as a source of shelter, food, and tools for the Indians. On July 11, 1806, Lewis and Clark described this strange new animal in their journals as : ‘A gangue of buffalow...the bulls keep a tremendous roaring we could hear them many miles and there are such numbers of them that there is a continuous roar...I sincerely belief that there are not less than 1,000 buffalow within a circle of two miles.’

The first post office was established in 1890 with Emily Philbrick as postmaster. The Great Northern Railroad extended their line into Billings in 1908. This area still is home for prosperous cattle ranches.
