Ghost Town Carroll Shaped by Diamond R Transport Giants
Long ago Carroll on the Missouri river was built in 1874 by Matt Carroll E G Maclay and Colonel Charles Broadwater as a rival freight hub to Fort Benton for the Diamond R Transportation company. The town faded by the late 1870s as rails and safer routes emerged and its founders moved on.
