Quaw, arrived in the Gallatin valley from Wisconsin in 1882. The Northern Pacific Railroad completed its line in 1883, and within 10 years, Belgrade (promoted as the "Princess of the Prairies") claimed to be the largest grain-receiving area between Seattle and St. Paul, due in part to the building of the Belgrade Grain and Produce Company by Quaw and William O. Tracy, and investment by both T.C. Power and Nelson Story in grain storage and elevator construction by 1891. Stories vary as to the origin of the town's name, but most certainly the name is linked to Belgrade, Yugoslavia. Quaw's version of the story ties it to Serbian financiers who invested in the Northern Pacific and accompanied Henry Villard to the golden spike ceremony in 1883. The Bozeman regional airport at Belgrade began as a 1940s federal investment to develop Belgrade Field.(Copyright 2009, Montana Historical Society: Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman, Montana Historical Society Research Center Staff)From the turn of the century through the 1930s, Belgrade continued to expand, gaining businesses, professionals and the trappings of an established community. However, speculation in Belgrade slowed, the depression took its toll, and Belgrade settled into the quiet farming community it was to remain for some time.Today, Belgrade has established itself as an independent community with excellent services and the unbeatable experience of a small town. Located in the center of the Gallatin Valley, Belgrade is just minutes away from many of Montana's major attractions including <a href="/categories/MoreInfo_Ski.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=73">Bridger Bowl Ski Area</a>, <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=43">Big Sky Resort</a>, <a href="/categories/MoreInfo_Ski.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=14597">Moonlight Basin</a>, <a href="/national_parks/yellowstone/">Yellowstone National Park</a>, and many, many more!<map name="nearbycities"><area shape="rect" alt="Toston, Montana" coords="53,8,91,21" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=329"><area shape="rect" alt="Melville, Montana" coords="202,23,248,40" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=223"><area shape="rect" alt="Wilsall, Montana" coords="151,39,200,53" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=361"><area shape="rect" alt="Clyde Park, Montana" coords="154,56,213,69" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=65"><area shape="rect" alt="Springdale, Montana" coords="208,92,248,109" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=314"><area shape="polygon" alt="Livingston, Montana" coords="160,107,171,127,244,127,242,113,181,111,169,103" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=202"><area shape="rect" alt="McLeod, Montana" coords="210,134,249,151" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=219"><area shape="rect" alt="Pray, Montana" coords="150,156,176,167" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=265"><area shape="rect" alt="Corwin Springs, Montana" coords="136,199,202,211" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=77"><area shape="rect" alt="Emigrant, Montana" coords="99,154,146,175" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=105"><area shape="rect" alt="Gallatin Gateway, Montana" coords="70,134,130,147" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=132"><area shape="rect" alt="Big Sky" coords="46,164,90,186" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=25"><area s586635BELGRADEYELLOWSTONE1014Super 8 by Wyndham Belgrade12052Belgrade Chamber of Commerce12664Budget Rent-A-Car12666Alamo/National Car Rental12670Thrifty Car Rental16650Elkhorn Ranch18708Quality Inn Belgrade19852Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport19876Stageline Pizza of Belgrade110063Stay Montana110931Clarkin Park110933Lewis & Clark Park110935Lions Club Park110960JR's Lounge & Casino & Liquor Store110963Mint Bar & Cafe110965Belgrade Liquor Store111003Yellowstone Harley-Davidson111330Avis Rent-A-Car111686Dollar Rent-A-Car112959La Quinta Inn & Suites114164Belgrade Community Library114243Rainbow Valley Outfitters115142Scissorbills Saloon116102Bar 3 Bar-B-Q117234Amaltheia Organic Dairy117245Gallatin Valley Farmers Market117569Madison River Brewing Company117879Montana Troutwranglers118279Roys Lodge118614Serenity Sheep Farm Stay119189Desert Rose119415Holiday Inn Express & Suites Belgrade119771Campervan North America120076Cabin Sweet Cabin120227Lea Vacation Rental120247Gallatin Valley Get-Away120552Cozy Belgrade Rental120559Montana Cabin Rentals120678Yellowstone Scenic Tours120789Foster Creek Farm120892Fall Festival 2018121025Hatch Adventures121151Ross Creek Cabins121605Belgrade Chamber of Commerce FALL FESTVAL121703The Outpost Montana121800Bridger View121804Black Bird Limousine121851Bridger Taxi121981Farmhouse Sweet Farmhouse122035Teddy's Townhouse122215Explore Rentals122221Good Trip Adventures122261Hyalite Cabin122264406 Paragliding122440Blacksford Premium RV Rentals122530Moe Mountains122538Outpost Oasis122597Rising Trout Fly Fishing122633Synchronicity SpaDome & Agriforestry Center122665Lebarron Limo Services122684Hyatt Place Bozeman Yellowstone Airport122685The Story Social Restaurant & Bar122688Bridger Berries Farm122706Atwell Suites Belgrade Bozeman Airport1MT59714
