AREA HISTORY As traditional hunting grounds, the Reese Creek area was inhabited by Native American tribes, including Blackfeet, Crow, and Nez Perce. The area’s fertile soil and abundant water became the mainstay of the local economy. Reese Creek, named after one of the original families, rapidly grew in the early 1900s. The Reese Creek School, built in 1906, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has transitioned into a community center. Bozeman, Montana, was founded in 1864 by John Bozeman, a pioneer and frontiersman who helped establish the Bozeman Trail, a critical route connecting Montana to the goldfields of Virginia City. Bozeman quickly grew into a hub for commerce, trade, and transportation. In 1893, Bozeman became home to the Agricultural College of Montana, now Montana State University, bringing a new influx of students and academics. Throughout the 20th century, Bozeman continued to grow and develop, becoming a center for outdoor recreation, tourism, and technology.
