City DescriptionBozeman is a city in and the county seat of Gallatin County, Montana, United States, in the southwestern part of the state. With a population of 27,509 at the 2000 census, Bozeman is the fifth largest city in the state. The city is named after John M. Bozeman, founder of the Bozeman Trail. Located in the fastest-growing county in the state , Bozeman is an All-America City (awarded in 2001). Bozeman residents are known as Bozemanites.
Bozeman is home to Montana State University - Bozeman. The local newspaper is the Bozeman Chronicle. Gallatin Field Airport serves the city.
For thousands of years, Native Americans tribes including the Shoshone, Nez Perce, Blackfeet, Flathead, Crow Nation and Sioux made the area their home, though the Gallatin Valley was not permanently held by any particular tribe.
William Clark visited the area in July 1806 as he traveled east from Three Forks along the Gallatin River. The party camped 3 miles (4.8 km) east of what is now Bozeman, at the mouth of Kelly Canyon. The journal entries from Clark's party briefly describe the future city's location in a place the local natives called the "Valley of the Flowers" .

What is the cost of building a single-family 1300-1500sf home in Bozeman, Montana?
Question:
3 bedroom, 2bath. 2 car garage. How much are contractor fees? How much is it fair for a contractor to charge? Who are good, respectable, reliable contractors in the Bozeman, Montana area? Answer any questions you may know. Thank you.
Answer:
In Gallatin County you're looking at about $225K. Bozeman is closer to $300K, mainly because your land is going to be about 1/3 of this (or more). Expect $125 a sq/ft to build depending upon design and features. New lots in decent subdivisions are coming on-line in Bozeman at over $100k. There are nearly 1,700 lots in preliminary plat down at City Hall. Once these start to be developed, it's likely we'll see land values taper. Despite the high cost, land and your home have proven to be a great investment in Bozeman. Most homes in Bozeman have appreciated well year to year.
A fair contractor rate is construction cost plus 10% for them. Contract with the builder to keep costs within a margin before you begin and avoid any changes to the plan unless absolutely necessary. If your just beginning this process, contact the Southwest Montana Building Industry Association (SWMBIA) for more info or to help find a contractor. Interview this person with a keen eye for things that may lead to conflicts later. You'll be making many decisions with this person. Make sure you can get along.

How long is the trip from L.A., California to Bozeman, Montana? What am I going to do on such a long car ride?
Question:
There are 8 adults going in a 10 person van. No internet. :(
Answer:
The first link is the trip's length.
The second link is to find cheaper gas prices as your going towards Bozeman.
In the car, if you like to read, a book or magazine. If you like puzzles, get a puzzle book. Maybe try listening to music on your iPod, Zune or CD Player. You could also sleep part of the way. Make sure you bring some snacks to keep you energized as you drive along. You could also bring a Nintendo DS, your PSP, or Gameboy along. I hope this helps.

What are some human-Environmental Interactions for Bozeman, Montana?
Question:
?
Answer:
World-famous vertebrate paleontologist Jack Horner is based there, and his teams from the Montana State University/Museum of the Rockies tend to dig up a lot of dirt and rock, disturbing the environment.
Okay, now for a real answer. Magaine articles naming Bozeman the best small town in America for small businesses and recreation, along with several Hollywood films featuring the region have caused a boom, and the growth has led to urban sprawl into areas that were recently undeveloped, waste disposal problems, and other environmental impacts common to rapid population growth and rampant tourism.
The Bozeman area has long been heavily involved in producing cattle, and timber has been another resource for the area. Mining for corundum and a few other mineral resources took place in the 1st half of the last century and left it's mark in a few areas.

Bozeman Montana!!!! i need some help!?
Question:
ok.....Im doin this chart thing for Bozeman, Montana about the five geographical things, ones Location, ones place, anothers Human-Environmental-Interactions, ones Regions, and the last is Movement.............I got some of the project done but i still have some things left............can you guys help me?
Answer:
One of the key ideas is that a "place" has a "location". So, "location" is a description of "where" the "place" is. For Bozeman, the location could be described as "located at 45°40′40″N, 111°2′50″W (45.677890, -111.047274)GR1". The location could be further described as "Bozeman is in Montana's Gallatin Valley." Or even further described as "Bozeman is 60 miles east of Butte (87 by road), 125 miles west of Billings (143 by road), and 93 miles north of Yellowstone National Park. Basically there are many ways to describe a "location"
Another key idea is that a "place" has a "regions". Bozeman's "regions" could be school districts, zip code areas, building zones, city council districts, state representive districts, old part of town vs new parts of town, etc.
Movement is a way to link places. You need to discuss the types of "movement" aviable in Bozeman and how that type of movement helps Bozemanites meet their needs.
