FARLAND-This was a rural post office established in November 2,1907 with Jens G. Walla (1871-1925)pm.  Peter Vidmo opened a store here that same year, and in 1909 the Farland Lutheran Church was built.  The location was NW1/4 Sec. 29-151-99, Farland Twp., six miles NNE of Arnegard.  The name was coined to note that this place was very far from everywhere else.  The post office office moved one mile NE to SE1/4  Sec. 20-151-99 just before it closed November 30, 1916 with mail to Arnegard.
 
 

FORT GILBERT-This was a little known fur trading post established in 1871 at or near the site of the long abandoned Fort Henry or 1822-1823 just aboove the mouth of the Yellowstone River.  To avoid militaryu control, founders Alvin and James Leighton, and Walter B. Jordan, purposely built it just out of the military reach of Ft. Buford, although they namred it for Col. Charles C. Gilbert of that post.  It proved to be of little merit, and no mention of the fort is found after September 1874.
 
 

FORT HENRY-This was an early trading post established the by the Rocky Mountain Fur Company of St. Louis, Mo in 1822.  It was located in Sec. 27-152-104, Yellowstone Twp., on the south bank of the Yellowstone River, just above its confluence with the Missouri River.  William H. Ashley (1778-1838), later a congressman from Missouri, was the money behind this venture, but active management was the responsibility of its namesake, Andrew Henry (1775-1833), a native of PA.  The venture was unsuccessful, and it was abandoned in 1823.
