Like so many Montana cities Bozeman was founded out of the Gold Rush. In the mid part of the 19th Century John Bozeman, who had come to the west in the search of gold, decided that he would make a better investment by gathering other prospectors into one place and making a living from catering to their needs. Bozeman saw the fertile Gallatin Valley as a most desirable place to live. He chose the site "standing right in the gate of the mountains ready to swallow up all tenderfeet that would reach the territory from the east, with their golden fleeces to be taken care of" to make his fortune.

Today Bozeman still appeals to many as an ideal place to lay down roots and partake of the many amenities nature offers here. Yellowstone National Park is a mere hour and a half south of Bozeman.
