Geyser was named for the nearby bubbling mud springs. At the turn of the century, the area around Geyser was dominated by the J. B. Long sheep company. Homesteaders, many of them Finnish, came later; often they had been coal miners at Belt and were lured here by offers of free land. Geyser hit its peak about 1920 (Byerly and Byerly). The old town was moved to its present site when the Great Northern was built from Great Falls to Billings and Geyser became a station. In the very early days, it was a stagecoach overnight stopping place on the trail from Lewistown to Great Falls. (from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
