Founded in 1882 by the Northern Pacific RR, Billings quickly became an important shipping point and fur-trading center. It is the largest city in Montana and a medical, manufacturing, and trade center for the S Montana–N Wyoming region.

Manufactures include paper, wood, dairy, and petroleum products; processed foods; and computer equipment. Wheat, sugar beets, livestock, and wool are traded.

Billings is the center of a recreational area and tourism is important. With Custer National Forest and Yellowstone National Park nearby, Billings offer an abundance of activities.

These include hiking through breathtaking scenery; fly fishing that you have heretofore only dreamed about; cycling, climbing and much more. There's fun lying in wait for the entire family in Billings.

Billings has quite the history, also. Famous people who have lived in Billings include Charles Lindbergh - he once worked as a mechanic at the Billings Logan Airport and performed as a "barn stormer."
"Calamity Jane" Canary also lived in the Billings area towards the end of her life.
