- **Event Description**: Gallatin City II, located at the headwaters of the Missouri River, represents early speculative town planning in Montana. The first city – one of the earliest settlements in Montana - was located in 1862 on the west side of the combined Jefferson and Madison Rivers. It was officially planned and intended to serve as a supplier for mining camps such as Virginia City, Last Chance Gulch, and Bannack. Various impediments prevented this, promoting instead Gallatin City II, a relocated version on the east side of the Madison River. Subsequently, other events led to the decline of this promising city, and the concomitant rise of Bozeman instead. This site, a lovely riparian area visited twice by the Lewis & Clark Expedition, with views of the Bridger, Tobacco Root, and Big Belt Mountains, was bypassed by the railroad and is now our highly significant Missouri Headwaters State Park, a National Historic Landmark. This talk explores the history and outcome of this early settlement, and the two buildings that remain from the city.
