Red Lodge Founded 1888 Grows Into Scenic Montana Stop
The Red Lodge coal camp began with the Northern Pacific line in 1888, forming Carbon County. It rose from a rough frontier town to a scenic gateway with Bearetoot mountains and Crystal streams, while mining and townsite wars shaped its early politics and growth. The area later became a thriving tourist stop on the Red Lodge city highway.
