HistoryAmerican Indian WarsThe Powder River Battles, part of the Powder River Expedition of 1865, were fought near the present-day town from September 1–15, 1865, by the U.S. Army against Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. On March 17, 1876, the Battle of Powder River occurred about {{convert|34|mi|km}} southwest of present-day Broadus, and on June 13, 1876, six companies of the 7th Cavalry led by Major Marcus Reno marched along the Powder River to within {{convert|10|mi|km}} north of the town's present location before turning west toward the Little Bighorn. The TownThe Broadus post office was established in 1900, and named after the Broaddus family, early settlers in the area.[2][3] When the town's streets were being planned, they were made wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to turn around.[7] The original streets are still this wide today. In 1918 publication of the Broadus Independent began, and is still published today, although it is now called the Powder River Examiner. In 1920, Broadus was chosen as the county seat of the newly established Powder River County. As an incentive for voters choosing Broadus, Margaret Trautman promised a donation of 80 acres from her ranch to the town.[4] When Belle Creek Oil Field opened in the late 1960s, the economy of Broadus boomed.[5] Oil and gas production continue to be important to the local economy.
