Glendive is a city in and the county seat of Dawson County, Montana, United States, and home to Dawson Community College.[2] Glendive was established by the Northern Pacific Railway when they built the transcontinental railroad across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Coast. The town was the headquarters for the Yellowstone Division that encompassed 875 route miles (1,408 km); 546 (879) in main line and 328 (528) in branches with the main routes from Mandan, North Dakota, to Billings, Montana, and from Billings to Livingston. The town of Glendive is an agricultural and ranching hub of eastern Montana sited between the Yellowstone River and the Badlands. Makoshika State Park is located just east of Glendive.

The population was 4,873 at the 2020 census.[3]

History

Glendive was established by the Northern Pacific Railway during the building of the railroad line.[4][5] The settlement mainly consisted of tents and log cabins until a building boom ensued with the arrival of first load of lumber in 1881.[6]

The Montana territorial legislature created Dawson County in 1869 but did not name a county seat, instead placing it administratively under Meagher County. In 1881, Glendive citizens petitioned to name it the county seat.[5]

In January 2015, Glendive was the site of a major oil spill from a pipeline which also contaminated drinking water.[7]

On October 24, 2023, a fire destroyed the Jordan Inn and the Rose Theater,[8] both located in the Merrill Avenue Historic District. The Inn was a complete loss.[9]

Geography

The elevation of the city is 2,064 feet (629 m).[10] Interstate 94 passes through town with access from exits 215, 224 and 231. Montana Highway 16 begins in West Glendive. The Yellowstone River cuts through town.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.35 square miles (8.68 km2), of which 3.32 square miles (8.60 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.[11]

Climate

Glendive experiences a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) with long, cold, dry winters and hot, wetter summers. Together with Medicine Lake, the town holds the state's all-time-high record of 117 °F (47 °C), which was recorded on July 20, 1893, in Glendive and on July 5, 1937, in Medicine Lake. On June 29, 1961, an F4 tornado struck Glendive, causing between $500,000 and $5 million in damage.[12]

Etymology

Sir George Gore, a wealthy Irish sportsman,[15] named his favorite hunting area "Glendive" in 1855, from the Irish gleann 'valley' and dubh 'black'.[citation needed]

Demographics

Bell Street, about 1913
Merrill Avenue, 2016

Glendive was briefly an oil boom town after the discovery of oil in the Williston Basin in the early 1950s. Moving the oil out of the area was difficult and expensive though; the boom ended by 1954 and only a small reserve existed locally. The community has been impacted in the 2000s by the North Dakota oil boom which spurred a modest increase in the population.[7]

Glendive is the smallest US television market (or DMA), as identified by Nielsen.[24]

The Glendive market has three local radio stations:

Glendive is the smallest of the 210 designated markets for broadcast television in the United States as designated by Nielsen Media Research,[24] with one station—KXGN channel 5—carrying a CBS affiliation along with state and local news broadcasts for a small potential audience of several thousand people (county population is 9,059). Until September 2009, KXGN also carried selected prime-time NBC programming in its schedule, making it the last "Big 3" affiliate to offer programming from more than one network on a single feed. In late June 2010, KXGN moved their NBC programming to a DT2 digital subchannel, rejoining the network.

K13PL channel 13, a translator (low-powered rebroadcaster) of Williston, North Dakota's NBC affiliate KUMV was also available until 2013; KUMV is still carried on area cable systems.

The Glendive Ranger-Review is the local paper.[25]
