Billings: Oil, Rimrocks, and Montana's Largest City
Billings sits in Yellowstone County on the Yellowstone River, hemmed in on the north by the Rimrocks, a line of sandstone cliffs that rise roughly 500 feet above the valley floor. The city was founded in 1882 as a Northern Pacific Railway town and named after the railroad's president Frederick H. Billings. It grew as a shipping point for cattle, sheep, and sugar beets, and passed Great Falls in the 1960s to become Montana's most populous city.
Three oil refineries operate within the metro area, including facilities run by ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, and CHS. Billings also serves as the regional medical center for a territory that extends into Wyoming and the Dakotas. Billings Clinic and St. Vincent Healthcare together employ thousands and draw patients from across the northern plains, a catchment area that has been described as one of the largest per-capita medical service regions in the country.
Interstate 90 runs east-west through the city and Interstate 94 branches northeast toward North Dakota, making Billings the primary freight junction for eastern Montana. The Yellowstone Valley Farmers Market runs on Saturdays downtown, and the MetraPark complex hosts the Montana Fair each August. Rocky Mountain College, a small liberal arts institution founded in 1878, is the oldest college in the state.
Pictograph Cave State Park, a few miles south of the city, contains rock paintings dating back more than 2,000 years. Pompeys Pillar National Monument, roughly 30 miles east along the Yellowstone, bears the signature of William Clark carved in 1806 during the return leg of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Downtown Billings has been undergoing gradual revitalization, with the Brewery District and Montana Avenue drawing new restaurants and the ZooMontana facility on the western edge of the city.
