Governor Richards Signs The Bill Creating Sweet Grass County
Governor Richards signs the act creating Sweet Grass County after a bitter political fight and House passage in February 1895. The measure defines boundaries linking Park Yellowstone and Meagher counties, designates Big Timber as temporary seat, and outlines October 1886 election procedures for permanent seat. The bill attaches the new county to the Sixth Judicial District and apportions indebtedness among the three parent counties.
