In 1882, the area was surveyed by the Northern Pacific Railroad and renamed after Frederick Billings, a former president of the Northern Pacific.

Billings may be the ultimate place for people who enjoy a change of seasons. With an average of 12 inches of precipitation each year, extreme weather in any form is a rarity; muggy summers and icy winters, tornadoes, flooding, and blizzards are just not seen often in this part of Big Sky Country.
