History of Yellowstone
Yellowstone has a bit of history tied to a religious group. In the 1850s, a man named Zenas H. Gurley, Sr. led a branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite) here. This group was a small part of the larger Latter Day Saint movement. They had a community in Yellowstone during that time.
