Glendive was founded in the early 1880s; and its growth was promoted and sustained by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Legend holds that Sir George Gore; on a hunting expedition with famed mountain man Jim Bridger; named a creek in the area Glendale Creek after a similar one in his native County Donegal; Ireland. Over the years; the word �Glendale� somehow transformed into �Glendive.� Prior to the arrival of European Americans; indigenous peoples; including the Crow and the Lakota Sioux; called the area home. The arrival of the Northern Pacific in 1881; along with the passage of the Enlarged Homestead Act in 1909; lured people from America and abroad to this isolated region to pursue their version of the American dream.
