Lockwood is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yellowstone County, Montana, United States.

Cows replacing the buffalo brought an end to the plains Native Americans’ way of life.

Just to the southeast of the ranch, one can find reminisces of Cavalry camps as they stay in the area for a whole winter surveying the land for the federal government.

The area known as Lockwood Flats was also originally the site of a stop called Hirsch, located just between Johnson Lane and old Coulson Road.

Lockwood is also one of the fastest-growing communities in Montana, with an estimated 58% increase between the 2000 and 2010 censuses.

Residents and local businesses are working with Yellowstone County and the City of Billings to create a framework for proper infrastructure and zone planning, as well as an eventual incorporation as an official municipality.

Pictures of the historic meeting were recorded of the event and posted on the new [www.lockwoodmontana.com community website].

Groups were organized and champions were chosen for many different issues whether it was for a high school, incorporation, better roads, Billings bypass, community garden, community festival, water & sewer, lighting, sidewalks, and businesses.

With this MHI it may make it more difficult to secure grants specific to low income residents.
