About Glasgow, MT

Native Americans inhabited the region for centuries, and extensive buffalo and pronghorn antelope herds provided ample food for the nomadic tribes. The Nakoda, Lakota, and Dakota peoples alternately inhabited and claimed the region from the 16th to the late 19th centuries. In 1804 the Lewis and Clark expedition came within 15 miles (24 km) of the future site of Glasgow and noted the extensive herds of buffalo and various game. In 1851, the US government formed the first treaty with the Native American tribes, in 1885 the tribes engaged in the last known buffalo hunt in the region, and in 1887, a treaty was signed where the tribes surrendered [ citation needed ] 17.5 million acres (71,000 km 2), which led from 1888 to the formation of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and the removal of the tribes from the Glasgow area. [ citation needed ] Glasgow was founded in 1887 as a railroad town by James Hill, who was responsible for creating many communities along the Hi-Line.
