Glendive

      city, seat (1881) of Dawson county, eastern Montana, U.S., on the Yellowstone River. It was founded in 1881 after the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway (Northern Pacific Railway Company) and named for nearby Glendive Creek (said to be a corruption of “Glendale”). It developed as a farming and livestock town. Following the discovery of oil, gas, and coal in the vicinity, it became headquarters of Montana–Dakota Utilities Co. (electric power and gas) and supply centre for the Williston Basin oil fields. Glendive is the seat of Dawson Community College (1940). The Frontier Gateway Museum and the historic Bell Street Bridge are notable sites. Nearby Makoshika (Lakota: “land of bad spirits”) State Park, known for its unusual rock formations, is the largest state park in Montana. Inc. city, 1902. Pop. (1990) 4,802; (2000) 4,729.
