Located in the upper north eastern corner
of Montana, the Glasgow area is rolling
plains and open farmland. Established in
the late 1800s as a railroad town, Glasgow grew in stature
when the Fort Peck Dam was built a few miles south in
1933. One of the world's oldest and largest hydraulic
earthfill dams, Fort Peck Dam stretches over four miles
across the Missouri River. The former Glasgow Air Force
Base was a centerpiece for the community. The large
13,500 ft. runway and 67 buildings of the base are in
good repair.
