Area History On July 15, 1806, Captain William Clark and his contingent camped at the mouth of a river flowing into the Yellowstone River from the north, and Clark named the river after The Corps of Discovery s Gunsmith, John Shields. Captain Clark was leading his party down the Yellowstone to reunite with Captain Meriwether Lewis at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers for their celebrated return to St. Louis. Clyde Park was originally known as Sunnyside. In 1887, the post office was moved to the Clyde Park Stock Ranch, where John Harvey and Thomas Tregloan imported Clydesdale horses from England. The town name was then changed to Clyde Park after the horses and the park-like setting of the valley. The town was moved to its current location in 1900. History buffs seeking more about Southwest Montana s rich history and culture have many books to choose from, such as Journals of a Trapper, Tough Trip through Paradise and The Lewis and Clark Journals.
