- Billings is the largest city in the U.S. state of Montana, with a population estimated at 109,577 as of 2019. Located in the south-central portion of the state, it is the seat of Yellowstone County and the principal city of the Billings Metropolitan Area, which had an estimated population of 180,385 in 2018. It has a trade area of over 500,000.
Billings was nicknamed the "Magic City" because of its rapid growth from its founding as a railroad town in March 1882. With one of the largest trade areas in the United States,[8] Billings is the trade and distribution center for much of Montana east of the Continental Divide, Northern Wyoming, and western portions of North Dakota and South Dakota. Billings is also the largest retail destination for much of the same area.
The city is experiencing rapid growth and a strong economy; it has had and is continuing to have the largest growth of any city in Montana. Parts of the metro area are seeing hyper growth. From 2000 to 2010 Lockwood, an eastern suburb, saw growth of 57.8%, the largest growth rate of any community in Montana. Billings has avoided the economic downturn that affected most of the nation from 2008 to 2012 as well as the housing bust. With more hotel accommodations than any area within a five-state region, the city hosts a variety of conventions, concerts, sporting events, and other rallies.[8] With the Bakken oil development in eastern Montana and western North Dakota, the largest oil discovery in U.S. history, as well as the Heath shale oil discovery just north of Billings, the city's growth rate stayed high during the shale oil boom. Although the city is growing, its growth rate has diminished markedly with oil price declines in recent years.
Area attractions include Pompey's Pillar, Pictograph Cave, Chief Plenty Coups State Park, Zoo Montana, and Yellowstone Art Museum. Within 100 miles are Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Red Lodge Mountain Resort, and the Beartooth Highway, which links Red Lodge to Yellowstone National Park.
Great drive. Thanks for showing around. Enjoyed watching it
I was in billings last year. Had lots of fun. Stayed at the clock tower Inn and ate meals at Stella's next door. I also went to the library and hardee's. Talked to locals. Was there for 4 days. Had fun.
Oh I wish Stalla’s was still open, it’s so good
LOL!
Lmao… I caught the sarcasm!🤣
Great vid. This might be my future home.
Very beautiful!
I always watch videos.I lived in Billings Montana about 30years ago.
The beautiful image is wonderful. I am also uploading a drive video. I would be happy if you could see it.
Billings is a funny place, seen a lot of stuff there, 13 years of drab
I moved to Billings eight years ago after retiring to be with my grandkids. I would not live anywhere else.
Growing up there, it was one of my greatest fears that the statue of the giant holding the tire at L.P. Anderson would come alive and throw that tire he's holding at my car 0:19
Looks like a nice, little city.
i loved the city
Wait...people in Montana think this hick town in the boonies is a city?
Thank you for the video and information about Billings Montana. I'm thinking about moving there within 2 years. I hope I will enjoy it there. I'm homeless right now, but working on getting out of the situation I'm in now.
Best of luck
Thank you
How you doing now ? are you still homeless
I'm still homeless and surviving. I've been 3 years clean of alcohol and drugs. Thank you for asking.
@@lucywas5888 I am grateful for your reply,take care brother
sasquatch sightings?
I might be moving to Montana
Colorado welcomes you with open arms. Much prettier and better
Montana is full, California invaded us...
@@wadeberry8261 What I don't understand is why would Californians move to Montana? Its absurd. You complain about being invaded by Californians, yet you're the tourists who infest our California cities every summer
@@mawile2468 shut up you are probably 12
Idaho and Montana both a lot of Californians moving them but everyone I've met is super nice and they tend to be conservative and that's why they wanted to get out of California. I welcome them here in Idaho
i been there since my birthday 2021 April 18th I SAW THIS BEFORE WE DRIVE OVER THERE
Lived here 30 years
Lived here 12 and a half years cuz that’s how long I’ve been living
Well you've lived there 30 years I'd love to know if you like it or not I'm trying to decide if I should stay here in Idaho falls and take a permanent position or give Billings a shot cost of living here is definitely higher that's one of my reasons for thinking about Billings
@@Yenko1992 If you're white, heteronormative, and Conservative...you will like it. If you value progressive thinking and equality for LGBTQ and BIPOC...this is not the place for you. Low paying jobs, long winters or excessive wind, and soaring housing prices! Born and raised here and have lived 28/32 years here.
Is the weather in Billings very hot ?
I looked at their weather forecast and yes it can get hot 🔥
@@awsomemodels we can get up to 110 and higher. Especially down town..
@@wadeberry8261 But is it a dry heat?
@@renatofabbro5263 not always we do get humid days
@@wadeberry8261 The days over 100 are rare, right? When we had our west coast heat wave, I noticed Billings was in the upper 80s.
Billings
I viewed the Birmingham Alabama cruise-thru. Wow..., you could find more cheer in a graveyard. 🙄😶
Too bad you spent 90% of the video driving in circles downtown...😮
Where is the nearest Hospital? Where is the nearest cowboy to ride? Do you have toilets here? Do yall have plumbing in the hotel?
The hospitals are all downtown near where this person is driving
Where’s the river? Where’s the trees?…oh it’s montana
That makes no sense. Montana is known for having plenty of those things and I see plenty of trees in Billings.
Yellowstone river runs through it!
It’s an oasis of trees when you view the city from the rims!
My brother lives out there…. It looks dead
