Beginning in the 1880s, the area surrounding the Judith River at Judith Landing was home to 2 large ranching operations: the DHS Ranch of A. J. and Erwin Davis, Samuel T. Hauser, and Granville Stuart; and the PN Ranch of Thomas C. Power and G. R. Norris.

—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
