History

Miles City is a city located in southeastern Montana, USA. It has a rich history that is closely tied to the development of the American West and the expansion of the frontier. Here's an overview of the history of Miles City:

Early Settlement and Fort Keogh: Miles City was founded in 1876 as a railroad town along the Northern Pacific Railway. It was named after General Nelson A. Miles, a prominent military figure of the time. The city's growth was closely linked to the establishment of Fort Keogh, a U.S. Army post built to protect settlers and provide a base for military operations against Native American tribes. The fort played a crucial role in the Indian Wars of the late 19th century.
