Miles City: Cattle, Cavalry, and the Bucking Horse Sale
Miles City was founded in 1877 near the confluence of the Yellowstone and Tongue rivers and named for Colonel Nelson A. Miles, the army commander who established a cantonment there following the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The cantonment evolved into Fort Keogh, which served as a major cavalry post and a remount station where the army bred horses. Fort Keogh closed as an active military post in 1924 and is now the USDA Livestock and Range Research Laboratory.
The city quickly became a hub for the open-range cattle industry. During the 1880s, Miles City rivaled Dodge City as a cow town, with large herds driven north from Texas to stock the Montana grasslands. Miles City remains the center of the eastern Montana livestock economy and hosts the annual Miles City Bucking Horse Sale each May, an event that draws rodeo contractors from across North America to bid on saddle broncs and bareback horses.
