Census-designated Place
A census-designated place (CDP) is a Place (United States Census Bureau), concentration of population defined by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes only. CDPs have been used in each decennial census since 1980 as the counterparts of incorporated places, such as self-governing city (United States), cities, town (United States), towns, and village (United States), villages, for the purposes of gathering and correlating statistical data. CDPs are populated areas that generally include one officially designated but currently unincorporated area, unincorporated community, for which the CDP is named, plus surrounding inhabited countryside of varying dimensions and, occasionally, other, smaller unincorporated communities as well. CDPs include small rural communities, Edge city, edge cities, colonia (United States), colonias located along the Mexico–United States border, and unincorporated resort and retirement community, retirement communities and their environs. ...

Absarokee, Montana
Absarokee is a census-designated place (CDP) in Stillwater County, Montana, United States, approximately south of Columbus on Highway 78. It is named after the Crow Indians who formerly inhabited the land. The population was 1,000 at the 2020 census. The Stillwater Mine, operated by the Stillwater Mining Company, is located near Absarokee. Name The name Absarokee is derived from ''Apsáalookěi'', the name given to the Crow Indian Tribe by the related Hidatsa people with ''Apsáa'' meaning "large-beaked bird" and ''lookěi'' meaning "children". ''Apsáalookěi'' thus literally means "children of the large-beaked bird". (The name "Crow" comes from the French ''gens du corbeaux'' or "people of the crows" as ''Apsáalookěi ''was translated by French fur traders in 1743.) The name was chosen by Absarokee-founder Sever T. Simonson who believed it meant "our people". It is widely believed that the difference in spelling of Absarokee from the nearby Absaroka Range is a result ...

Red Lodge is a city and county seat of Carbon County, Montana, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 2,257. History On September 17, 1851, the United States government signed a treaty with the Crow Nation, confirming control of the area which now contains Red Lodge to the Crow Indians.

Guest Ranch
A guest ranch, also known as a dude ranch, is a type of ranch oriented towards visitors or tourism. It is considered a form of agrotourism. History Guest ranches arose in response to the romanticization of the American West that began to occur in the late 19th century. In 1893, as part of his Frontier Thesis, historian Frederick Jackson Turner asserted that the United States frontier was demographically "closed". That, in turn, led many people to have feelings of nostalgia for bygone days, but also, given that the risks of a true frontier were gone, people could safely indulge in this nostalgia. Thus, the person referred to as a "wikt:tenderfoot, tenderfoot" or a "wikt:greenhorn, greenhorn" by Westerners was finally able to visit and enjoy the advantages of western life for a short period of time without needing to risk life and limb. In 1967, Marshall Sprague wrote that Griff Evans was running a dude ranch near Estes Park, Colorado by 1873, "thirty years before dude ranches wer ...
