Illustrative image: Pine Butte School, West of Bozeman, Montana. Gallatin County, Montana's first settled agricultural area, had many small communities upon statehood in 1889. State law allowed as few as four residents to petition for the financial assistance needed to establish a school district. Gallatin County especially seized this opportunity where at one time there were 77 individual school districts. District #53 was established in 1895 and the Pine Butte School built shortly thereafter. Lillie Railsback was — Circletheblock/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0
