Terry, Montana
Terry, is a town in Prairie County, Montana, United States, and the county seat. The population was 562 at the 2020 census.
The site where Terry is located was first called Joubert's Landing, in recognition of the man who built a supply point along the Yellowstone River for freighters traveling from Bismarck, Dakota Territory, to Miles City, Montana Territory. When the Northern Pacific Railway's transcontinental rail line arrived in 1881, the town was renamed for Alfred Howe Terry, a general in the Union Army who commanded an 1876 expedition in connection with George Armstrong Custer’s campaign against Native Americans, specifically in the west.
Terry became a two-railroad town when the Milwaukee Road constructed a transcontinental line known as the Pacific Extension through the town in the early 20th century. The Custer Creek train wreck, the worst rail disaster in Montana history, occurred near Terry along this line in 1938. The town was incorporated in 1910.
Terry is in Eastern Montana, approximately 1 km (0.62 mi) south of the Yellowstone River. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.71 square miles (1.84 km2), all land.
The Terry Badlands lie just north of the Yellowstone River, and is one of the wilderness study areas in Montana.
The town on average has over 200 days of sunshine a year. The average annual snowfall is 17.6 inches a year.
As of the census of 2010, there were 605 people, 292 households, and 168 families residing in the town. The population density was 852.1 inhabitants per square mile (329.0/km2). There were 357 housing units at an average density of 502.8 units per square mile (194.1 units/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 96.5% White, 0.2% Native American, 0.7% Asian, and 2.6% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.7% of the population.
There were 292 households, of which 17.1% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 50.3% were married couples living together, 5.8% had a female householder with no husband present, 1.4% had a male householder with no wife present, and 42.5% were non-families. 38.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 22.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
