Garland had its beginning with the arrival of the Burlinton and Missouri Railroad in August 1901. The townsite had been surveyed the previous June by Anselmo B. Smith, an agent for the Lincoln Land Co. It became known as "The Gate City," for in reality it became the gateway for the greater portion of the Big Horn Basin.
