Rosebud County, located in the great state of Montana, was established on February 11, 1901. It is named after the Rosebud Creek, which in turn got its name from the abundance of wild rose bushes that grow in the region. The county seat is Forsyth, a town that was founded in 1876 as a station on the steamboat route along the Yellowstone River.

Rosebud County has a rich history that dates back to the indigenous cultures like the Crow and Northern Cheyenne tribes that once lived in the area. The region was later explored by European-American settlers and came under the jurisdiction of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. This acquisition paved way for the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806, which aimed to explore the lands west of the Mississippi River.

In the late 1800s, the expansion of the railroad sparked significant growth in the region. The Northern Pacific Railroad reached Forsyth in 1882, and the Milwaukee Road followed in 1907, leading to the establishment of small towns and settlements across the county.

The Homestead Act of 1862 attracted settlers to Rosebud County with the promise of free land, further contributing to the region's development. The area also boasts a strong agricultural history, with ranching and farming serving as the economic backbone of the county.

One fun fact about Rosebud County is the existence of the Colstrip power plant, which started operating in the 1970s. It is the second-largest coal-fired generating facility in the western United States, and the coalfields in the county produce a significant amount of electricity for the region.

Today, Rosebud County offers visitors a chance to experience the picturesque landscapes, as well as its rich historical and cultural heritage.
