Laurel

Tucked along the Yellowstone River in south-central Montana, Laurel is a place whose character is shaped by the broad, semi-arid river valley and the rail and energy industries that grew beside it. Founded in 1908 as a Northern Pacific Railroad division point, the city remains a working junction on the BNSF network rather than merely a suburb of nearby Billings. The Yellowstone flows east toward its confluence with the Missouri, while irrigated fields and open plains define the local setting. Laurel’s CHS refinery is another longstanding part of its economy, giving this small city a practical, industrial identity.
