Buffalo, Montana Explained

Buffalo is an unincorporated rural hamlet in Fergus County, Montana, United States. Buffalo has a church, a post office serving ZIP code 59418, no other businesses or services, and only perhaps half a dozen homes.[1] It was named for the buffalo which roamed this area.[2]

The post office was established in 1890.[3] It closed for several years until the Great Northern Railroad created a line to Billings with Buffalo as a station.
