Pendroy was the terminal of a Great Northern branch line from Great Falls and a grain shipping point named for L. B. Pendroy, a personal friend of James J. Hill. The two met while Hill was scouting the country west of Devil's Lake, North Dakota in 1885 prior to the survey of the railroad.(from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company) The village of Pendroy was started in 1916, the year the Great Northern railway extended its branch line from Bynum, 11 miles south.
Located 21 miles north of Choteau just east of U.S. Highway 89 on Secondary Highway 221, this small farming community is in the heart of one of the best dryland grain-growing areas in Montana.
