People settled in Billings, Montana, due to its strategic location as a transportation hub along the Yellowstone River and the Northern Pacific Railway, which facilitated trade and movement. The area's fertile soil and abundant Natural Resources attracted agricultural and ranching opportunities. Additionally, the prospect of jobs in the mining and railroad industries drew settlers seeking economic prospects in the late 19th century. The city's growth was further fueled by its role as a service center for the surrounding rural communities.
