How did Belfry, Montana get its name?
Construction of the Yellowstone Park Railroad (YPRR) led to the founding of Belfry, Montana in July, 1905 with the
purchase of 40 acres of irrigated farmland at the mouth of Bear Creek. In 1906, the directors of the privately owned
YPRR authorized a platted community and named it for one of its original investors, Doctor Oran Merton Belfry (b.
1856 - 1931).
Dr. Belfry had toured the area in January of 1905, one of a small number of minor entrepreneurs
whose interest was stimulated by the vast quantities of high-grade coal in south central Montana. Created to be sold
to the Northern Pacific Railroad (NP), a short line would be needed to transport the tremendous amounts of coal
extracted from the Bear Creek mines to the Northern PacificÆs terminus at Bridger, where it would be transshipped
and distributed throughout Montana. Founded on dreams and a shoestring, YPRR was never acquired by NP and in
1909 it reorganized and incorporated as the Montana, Wyoming & Southern Railway Company (MW&S) and was forced
to survive on its own. Despite having to shut down in 1953, MW&S still helped bring notable economic development to
the area for almost 50 years.
Born into a very large pioneer family in eastern Canada, Dr. Belfry studied medicine
in Scotland, and graduated from Trinity Medical College in Toronto. Known as kind, outgoing and good humored, he
practiced in Ontario, Michigan and Pennsylvania where he resided when he made his hopeful investment in the West.
