Introduction to Bozeman, Montana
I Love Bozeman! If you are looking for a place to relax and spend the rest of your life, please stop looking for something else....come to Bozeman, the paradise!
The city of Bozeman, situated in southwestern Montana, serves as the county seat of Gallatin County. The city is named after John M. Bozeman, founder of the Bozeman Trail, a shortcut connecting the Oregon Trail to the gold rush territory of Montana. Bozeman lies about 60 miles east of Butte and 98 miles southeast of the Montana state capital of Helena. The city is also located 93 miles north of Yellowstone National Park.
The city's proximity to the Bozeman trail helped spur its growth, as did the area's fertile land. Incorporated in 1883, Bozeman hosted the founding ten years later of the state's land-grant college, the Agricultural College of the State of Montana. The school was later renamed the Montana College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and after that the Montana State College before finally becoming Montana State University in 1965. The university's sprawling campus is today the largest in the state.
