Belgrade, Montana is often an overlooked community. Being such a short distance from Bozeman, and along I-90, many people just speed right by on their way to the bustling city of Bozeman.
However, Belgrade is a quaint and charming town in Montana that shouldn’t be passed by.
Established in 1883 when the Northern Pacific Railroad was built through the Gallatin Valley. The founder of Belgrade was Thomas B. Quaw, a Midwesterner who came to Montana to make his fortune.
He named the town after the capital city of Serbia, and in honor of the Serbian businessmen who helped finance the construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
Today, Belgrade is a bedroom community of Bozeman and is the first place many visitors to the area see when they leave the Yellowstone International Airport, which is located just outside of the city limits.
The town is home to the largest high school sporting facility in Montana and plays host to high school teams from around the state for the various district, regional, and state sporting events.
We will take a closer look at Belgrade, Montana along with activities, accommodations, and culture so you know what to expect on your next visit.
