About Busby

Busby sits along Rosebud Creek and Highway 212 in southeastern Montana, serving as one of the core communities on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. Named after an early homesteader who opened the first local post office in 1904, the small town functions as one of the reservation's five tribal districts. Life here is quiet and distinctly rural, shaped by open prairie, pine-covered hills, and deep tribal traditions.

Community life revolves around the Northern Cheyenne Tribal School, a unified K-12 campus where local kids attend class and cheer on the Eagles. Regional history is always close at hand, from the Two Moons Monument honoring the famed Cheyenne chief to Rosebud Battlefield State Park just a short drive away. Between the school, the post office, and the peaceful creek valley, Busby provides a tight-knit and grounded setting in Big Horn County.
