to be the seventeenth largest city in Montana by 1930. ‘Irs-3 Present city was preceedecl by what is now called Old Roundup. It v;as located about two miles west of town and was started in 1332 by an old trapper and buffalo hunter named Janes McMillan. It is thought that his wife was the first white woman to live in this part of the country. This town consisted of a few log buildings, a store, saloon, post office, blacksmith shop, e. dance hall, and a small school house, for thirty years it was the gathering place for the nearby ranchers. Each year they held their roundup on the flat where the present city is now located. This fact accounts for the town's name. The present city of Roundup was born in the fall of 1907 when the first coal mine v;as opened. Tne railroad had not reached this far, but it v as expected by spring. At this time there was just a group of tar-paper shades and tents. The name Roundup was taken from the older settlement. The first school in this town ooened in 1903 with Mins Rridgie Holland (now Mrs. C. II. Rusch) as the teacher. The first newspaper Y as dated April 3, 1903. George Osborne v as the first postmaster. Because of its extra rapid growth, Roundup has been called The Miracle of the Musselshell. The discovery of oil in the Devil's Easin in November, 1919, ’yelp- ed to increase the size of the town. Roundup is now the larg- est city on the Milwaukee from Miles City to Butte, a distrnce of four hundred miles, and is, indeed, worthy of narae, Miracle of the Musselshell.
