Miles City
After the Battle of Little Bighorn, the United States government created forts in Eastern Montana. Fort Keogh came about in 1846. After surviving several rough winters, the Fort grew into a small town, which eventually got named after General Miles. Currently, Miles City’s population is roughly 8,500.
