Montana: Pray

N 41° 49.820' W 89° 16.084'

Located along the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley, Pray has plenty of divine natural scenery to back up its name. However, it wasn’t named for its stunning setting — the town was founded in 1907 by an entrepreneur named Valentine Eggar, who attempted to name it after himself. He was told by the postal service that it was too similar to the Montana town of Edgar, so instead, he named it after local Congressman Charles N. Pray, who happened to be in charge of approving new post offices.
