A Little History

Gallatin Gateway was first known as Salesville, after Z. Sales, who took over an early sawmill and founded the town on his personal property. In 1927 the Milwaukee Road railroad renamed it Gallatin Gateway when it became the end of a line carrying passengers toward Yellowstone National Park through the Gallatin Canyon. The Gallatin Gateway Inn opened that same year, a Spanish Revival-style hotel that was one of the most luxurious of its day. The inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and is still a local landmark worth checking out.
