Harlowton is a city in and the county seat of Wheatland County, Montana, United States.[2] The population was 955 at the 2020 census.[3]

The city was once the eastern terminus of electric operations (1914–74) for the "Pacific Extension" of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road"). Here, steam or diesel locomotives were changed or hooked up to electric locomotives for 438-mile (705 km) trip through the Rocky Mountains to Avery, Idaho. Harlowton was founded in 1900 as a station stop on the Montana Railroad, a predecessor to the Milwaukee, and was named for Richard A. Harlow,[4] the Montana Railroad's president.

History

[edit]
Welcome Monument -- Electric Switch Engine E57B

The Upper Musselshell River Valley is named for the Musselshell River, which got its name from the large number of freshwater mussels found in its river bed.[5] In the fall and winter weather, the bison would migrate to the lower altitudes along the Musselshell River. Early plains hunters, taking advantage of the large bison population, frequented this area.[6] Some of the tribes that traveled through the area were the Crow, Blackfeet, Flathead, Gros Ventre, Northern Cheyenne, Nez Perce, Shoshones, Sioux, and Assiniboine.[5]

Harlowton lies within the Montana High Plains that form a part of the Northwestern Plains.[6] The area is most known archeologically for the line of demarcation which was mutually established between the Crow and Blackfeet tribes that passed through the area.[5] This fifty-mile rock line fence crossed east to west from the Big Snowy Mountains to the Crazy Mountains.[5] The rock line hunting boundary was the cause of several battles in the area.[5]

Within Wheatland County, site surveys have recorded and assigned archaeological site numbers to Sentinel Rock, the Fish Creek Pictograph, Owl Canyon Pictograph, Winnecook Petroglyph, Fortification site, and to several buffalo jumps in the area.[6] The Big Snowy, Little Belt, Castle and Crazy Mountains have produced five wickiup (conical timbered lodges) sites and several pictograph sites.[6]

On May 7, 1868, a treaty with the Crow Nation and the United States Government opened the Musselshell River Valley to settlement.[7]

The first sheep operation on the Upper Musselshell was started by P.J. Moore in 1878.[8] The first large cattle operation in the area was the Chicago Montana Livestock Company in 1882, with S.S. Hobson as part owner and manager.[8]

On June 17, 1907, a fire destroyed 24 buildings on the north side of Harlowton's Main Street.[9] The town was rebuilt, though most of the construction took place on Central Avenue to correspond with the Milwaukee Railroad plot.[9]

The first town election was held on June 6, 1908. Mr. A. T. Anderson was elected mayor.[9]

The grand opening of the Graves Hotel was on June 19, 1909, with a banquet and dance.[9] Andrew Chris Graves was the principal owner.[10] The Graves Hotel was added to the National register of historic places on August 6, 1980.[11]


On February 22, the 1917 legislature passed an act which created Wheatland County from Meagher and Sweet Grass Counties. The act took effect on April 1, 1917.[12] W

Wheatland was the first county in the US to go over its goal in the World War I Liberty Bond drive of 1918.[10] County became the 41st county in Montana, and Harlowton became the county seat.[9] For this effort, a ship, the USS Wheatland (AKA-85), was named after the county.[9]

The 163rd Infantry Regiment is a regiment of the Montana National Guard based in Harlowton. It went overseas with the 41st Infantry Division in World War II.[13]

The Jawbone Creek Country Club is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the only golf course with a cemetery in it.[14]

Merino

The town of Merino was officially established in 1881.[10] The name Merino came from the breed of sheep (Merino) that were run in the area by Charles Severance at the time.[9] The trading post owned by John and Archie McEachnie housed the post office, store and saloon.[9] The first railroad into the area was the Montana Railroad (nicknamed the “Jawbone Railroad”) in 1899.[15] The Montana Railroad terminal was located one mile northwest of Merino, so it was decided to relocate the town site.[10] On June 10, 1900 Richard Harlow, father of the Montana Railroad, and Arthur Lombard, surveyor and promoter of the Montana Railroad, auctioned off lots of the new town site.[9]

The name Merino was changed to Harlowton on November 9, 1900.[10] The first building to be erected in the new town site was a barber shop, owned by Thomas Hanzlik.[9]

Big Nose George robbery

[edit]

In 1878, JV Salazar (Mexican John) was robbed of his horses, grub, and guns near the present site of Harlowton by the noted horse thief George Parrott (Big Nose George).[8] At the time of the Salazar robbery, George Parrott was known to be camping on the Musselshell River with Andrew Garcia, where he was holding a bunch of stolen horses on his way to Canada.[8] Big Nose George was later lynched at Rawlins, Wyoming.[16]

Milwaukee Road

[edit]

In 1906, the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road") started building west with its route coming though Harlowton.[17] On December 5, 1907, work was started on the Milwaukee Railroad Roundhouse in Harlowton.[10] The first passenger train from the east rolled into Harlowton on March 9, 1908, with freight trains to follow.[17] In 1915 the Milwaukee Railroad was electrified from Harlowton to Avery, Idaho — over 450 mountainous miles.[10] Harlowton became the eastern terminus of electric operations and was known as “the place where electricity replaces steam.”[17] The Milwaukee Railroad dropped its electrified system in 1974, just months before the OPEC oil embargo of the United States.[10] The Milwaukee Railroad was abandoned following a bankruptcy settlement and the last train that went through Harlowton was in March 1980.[18] Milwaukee Road Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1988.[19] The depot has been converted into the Harlowton Milwaukee Depot Museum.[20]

Paleontology

[edit]

The town of Harlowton is located in the Fort Union Geological formation and is famous for its Paleocene fossils.[21][22] In 1902 Albert Silberling, a local homesteader and self-taught paleontologist, discovered the Douglass Quarry southwest of Harlowton.[23][24] Albert Silberling and Earl Douglass, a Princeton University paleontologist, discovered fossil remains of primitive mammals including the Ptilodus, Phenacodus, and Plesiadapis in the quarries southwest of Harlowton.[21] Albert Silberling's discoveries from fossils excavated in the Harlowton area have subsidized the information about life in the Paleozoic era.[21][25]

The Rugocaudia cooneyi and Tatankacephalus cooneyorum are two new dinosaur species that were found southwest of Harlowton. The Rugocaudia cooneyi is a new sauropod dinosaur that was described and named by the paleontologist Cary Woodruff[26] in 2012.[27] The genus name Rugocaudia means “wrinkle tail” and the species name honors the landowner J. P. Cooney.[28] The Tatankacephalus is a new ankylosaur dinosaur species found in 1997 by Bill and Kris Parsons, research associates of the Buffalo Museum of Science.[29]

The Avaceratops lammersi dinosaur was found on the Lammers family Careless Creek Ranch northeast of Harlowton and is the first of its kind.[30] The Aveceratops is a small horned dinosaur that belongs to the Ceratopsidaie family.[31] Eddie and Ava Cole discovered the fossil remains in 1981.[32] Dr. Peter Dodson, Professor of Paleontology and Veterinary Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania, participated in further excavation and transported the specimen to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.[32][33] A cast of the Avaceratops lammersi is on display at the Upper Musselshell Museum in Harlowton.[30]

Geography

[edit]

The town is located on the slopes of the Crazy Mountains. Other surrounding mountain ranges include the Big Snowy Mountains, Little Belt Mountains, Bull Mountains, and the Castle Mountains. It is near the Lewis and Clark National Forest.[34]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.58 square miles (1.50 km2), all land.[35]
