Diamond City Montana is a small town on the west facing slopes of the Big Belt Mountains. In 1876, many of the newspaper articles related to railroads, agricultural issues, as well as a negative view upon all of those who were not white.
This was a town secluded from the rapidly growing world. The nearest railroad was over 35 miles away, which was the cause of many of the articles to surround the topic of a new taxing system to start a fund to extend the railroad into the town. Since there was no railroad, this town also faced agricultural issues that came with not having access to the materials needed to keep up with the growing population or changing needs of people. The town started as a solely white town, and without a railroad, few to none non-whites were coming in, keeping the views opinionated and racist.
