Norwegian Colony Sparks Growth Around Sweet Grass
In 1878 George Cook led cattle and horse settlers near Melville, with Judge W. Strong staking a claim in 1881. A Montana Norwegian colony formed in Rushford Minnesota pushed emigration west, sending representatives to the Sweet Grass Otter Creek area where ranches prospered. Early settlers built a school in district 34, Gallatin county, and the first Melville precinct election was held there in November 1882 with 14 votes.
