[It is unknown who the authors are of the following history, which was written in 1963. It is thought that it was done as a project in one of the high-school classes for Roy's 5Oth celebration with help from the many old timers who were, at that time, still around. Eva T. Murphy, L. M. A. Wass, Opal Marsh and Con Anderson all had a keen interest in recording history and most certainly they had a hand in preparing this account.]
  The first known commercial establishment in the Roy vicinity was a saloon, of sorts, owned by William P. Coyle, who moved his stock of liquor, tobacco and other products from Gilt Edge to his homestead, one mile east of the present town site of Roy. He traded with the cowboys Indians and early settlers.
  There were not many people living in this area prior to 1910 so the need for any business establishment was slight, if not at all. After 1910 a few homesteaders started coming in and the need for a place to obtain supplies did become slightly more urgent. In 1912, Nels Christensen erected a small, two-room shack which served as a place to obtain supplies. It was located about 100 feet slightly west and north of the town pump.
  The Milwaukee Railroad Company decided to build a feeder route out this way to handle the business which would be created by the homesteaders. They planned to build a new town at Roy, which was then only a post office at Bert Sargeant's ranch, located just outside the present city limits of Roy. Land, located about twelve miles north and east of the Judith Mountains and lying at an elevation of 3,100 feet, was selected and arrangements made through a subsidiary of the company, the Milwaukee Land Company, to purchase the land, then belonging to Frank Stephens and Bert Sargeant, on which to plot the townsite. The town survey was completed on December 3, 1912.
  In the winter of 1912 and 1913, John Stephens built the red livery barn still standing in Roy. He anticipated the need for such an establishment for he knew the Milwaukee Land Company would advertise the land highly and people would flock to Roy to get some of it; which was exactly the case
  In March of 1913, lots sold at these prices; Corner lots $250, Saloon lots $500, and other lots $200. Building began in earnest From then on, every available team was kept busy hauling lumber and building materials from Hilger, 26 torturous miles away. Hilger, population 300, was an important trading and shipping center.
  The Milwaukee Land Company continued to advertise and, of course more people continued to come. Those people who had arrived found that the soil was quite fertile so they in turn encouraged their friends to come out from the east and settle with them. Roy became the jumping-off point for homesteaders. Most of them stayed long enough only to see the land agent and to obtain a locater to help them find their homestead, then they immediately headed for their homestead-to-be. However, not all people were interested in homesteading and even those that had homesteads preferred to work around town. This caused quite a housing problem until rooming houses could be built to accommodate them.
  Many camped on the edge of town in tents and wagons until they could finish their respective businesses in town. John Stephens' barn loft served as the first rooming house
  One of the first sleeping places was built during the summer of 1913 by Ed Hansen and John Sidell. It was constructed such that there was a bar and cafe downstairs and rooms upstairs The upstairs was so hastily constructed that the builders were not able to partition off eight rooms and the beds were arranged in rows. This establishment was known as the Roundup Hotel and was located where the present American Legion Bar stands. Mrs. Laura Voss was proprietress of the cafe.
  There were only two lots set aside for saloons and Ed Hansen saw fit to purchase both of them, thus assuring ^{P. 287} himself that no competition was in the offering. But as it turned out Roy Sturdy and Tony Musek were looking for a place to set up a saloon and, in as much as they could not get Hansen to condescend to let them buy in town, they immediately bought up the two liquor licenses and moved out to the edge of town where they set up a saloon. This forced Hansen to obtain a whole sale liquor license and made things generally unhandy for him since a thirsty traveler would rarely want to drink a barrelful of beer to quench his thirst. Sturdy and Musek were finally able by obscure means, to obtain a lot south of the European on which to erect a saloon known as the Silver Dollar. Time saw the two parties making an agreement on the matter of licenses.
  Another sleeping place arose about the same time It was owned by David Berg and Simon Duncan and was known as the European. It could also boast of a cafe. Two men made the dwelling only half a lot wide at first This would enable them to take better care of the cafe part since it would require little walking to wait on the customers so they thought. Things did not materialize as they had hoped and they ended up building the remainder of the rooming house on the lot The structure still stands and is presently called the Roy Hotel and Cafe.
  About this time, in 1918, Nels Christensen erected an impressive mercantile store on the corner north of the Roundup and west of the European Hotel It was the largest in eastern Fergus county, at the time and taller than most of the buildings previously erected. It was two stories high, 25 feet wide and 140 feet long. Stock from his former mercantile was moved into the larger structure. Sleeping rooms and offices of many business men were on the upper story. There were doctors, lawyers dentists and realtors-and horse thieves--in town at that time. The sleeping rooms part was called the Roy Rooming House and Mrs. E. L. Newbury was the proprietress. He was only there a short while until he sold to J. E. Cox.
  The first separate eating place in Roy was owned by William H. Giersch and was located on the south end of Main Street (south of where the Legion Bar is now located). It was known as the Roy Cafe and was very convenient to travelers because it was on the way into town. He was not a very generous man, and if a group of people were to come in unexpectedly he would likely as not be unable to provide for all of them. Locating agents generally brought steaks and bread with them if the people were to be fed at the Roy Cafe.
 Many business establishments were being built at this time so it is nearly impossible to say which came first. The author therefore will describe the various businesses, their proprietors and events connected with both.
  Probably the first grocery store in Roy was owned by J. C. Hamm and Peter Raben. Joseph Hamm was a construction contractor and did not spend much time in the store.  They allowed credit to get the best of them and eventually had to sell their business.  John Nylander and Leonard Tronsdale were building a large grocery and clothing store at the time, so they bought Hamm and Raben's building for a warehouse.  (Hamm passed away April of 1967 in Spokane, Washington.)
  Roy could boast of a bank in 1913, though it was perhaps a modest structure. It was located on the corner of 1st and Main and the first banker's name was Leon M. Bolter, John Heckler, cashier. 
  The post office was moved from the Sargeant ranch and located on the lot north of the Roy Café. Jay Gove was postmaster and ran a news agency as well.  He sold magazines, newspapers, candies, postcards, Roy pennants and cigars.
  Charles Kolar built the first hardware store, about three lots north of the Roy Mercantile.  There were no other hardware stores or lumber yards at the time, most of them being built a year later.
  The Milwaukee Townsite Company formed a subsidiary in Roy called the Roy Land Company and appointed John Stephens as agent to sell lots. He carried on the business from his office in the livery barn. 
  A meat market emerged along the west side of main along with the other businesses.  Leo Krahulek was the proprietor.  His establishment was in the middle of the block north of the Roy Mercantile.  It was called the Roy Meat Market.
  Most of the businesses tried to located on the west side of the street so they could have an east front.  There seemed to be some advantage of this position at that time. 
  Roy was not without recreation in those days either, for it possessed a billiards parlor.  The six billiard tables that it contained were shipped from Minneapolis at a freight cost of $400.  It was called Harry's Billiard Parlor and it was located south of the Roy Meat Market, Harry and Charles Oquist and John Nylander were the owners.
  No town, through which passed wagons, would be complete without a blacksmith shop.  James Everin started the Roy Blacksmith shop and kept two other men, one of whom was a wheelwright, and himself quite busy. There seemed to be no end of horse shoeing and wagon repair at that time since that was the most prevalent means of travel.  The blacksmith shop was located conveniently south of Stephens' stables.  No lumber yards, blacksmiths shops, livery barns or business which caused undue noise, odor or confusion of traffic were to be located along Main Street so those businesses were forced to occupy side streets.
  A dance was held in each new business shortly before the furnishings were put in and everyone usually had a good time.
  Ed Brassey and Cap McCullen were the first realtors to come to Roy. They were located south of the Roundup Rooms and Bar.  The United States Land ^{P. 288} Commissioner, Byron L. Glow, was in the building with them. Their main business was to help locate people on homesteads.
  Roy had a newspaper, but it was printed in Hilger. Roy Kilmer was one of the people responsible for the first Roy paper.
  The Roy Commercial club was organized, May 1918 Through their efforts Main Street was graded and graveled and drainage ditched west of town. The club hall served as a dance hall and later as a morgue during the flu epidemic of 1918.
  Early in the spring of 1914 a mere handful of buildings marked the spot where later the same year a little city of numerous business residences and a population of 400 stood.
  January 8, 1914 the newspaper moved from Hilger to a lot back of the Silver Dollar Saloon and the name was changed to the Roy Enterprise F. C. "Scoop" Marshall was publisher and Edith Ammons was the editor. Soon after the following article appeared in the Roy Enterprise.

  "Railroad tracks reached Roy April 9 1916 With the locomotive visible to the naked eye between the hours of 10 and 11 each morning, Whitey Moran's Camp looming up on the old Smith and Laraway Ranch and with freight being received at Fergus only five miles from us we felt about the same as though the railroad was here. Bets were being placed two to one that it would be here Wednesday. The telegraph lines were being constructed at the same time working just behind the track gang. Honorable John Stephens sent the first message of welcome to the outside world over the new telegraph line."

  McCain and Johnson started a lumber yard where the Evert Harrell home is now. (Across the street from Casey Jones 1988).
  K. W. Wright started a furniture business in a building located just north of the Roy Mercantile.
  August Diamond started another furniture store south of the Montana Lumber Yard. He also included the first undertaking business in this establishment. He owned and operated a cemetery.
  Charles Kolar sold Roy hardware to Art Close.
  Business houses started building sidewalks on both sides of the streets. The sidewalk on the west side of main street was 16 feet wide, whereas those on the east side were two feet wider.
  Agnew and Ramsey set up a real estate office opposite the print shop (Roy Enterprise).
  David Berg has given the contract for an addition to be built to his restaurant building that will cover the entire width of his lot. When complete the banding will be 24 x 40 feet, two stories high. The second floor will be need for transient roomers and will contain 12 large airy rooms which will be well furnished. The lower floor will be added to the restaurant. Several tables will be added to meet the demands of his rapidly increasing trade.
  A. S. Seyller started a grocery store known as Scynller's ^{P. 289} Cash Store located west of the bank building.
  Business was so brisk in that famous year of 1914 that the following article appeared in the June 4, 1914 edition of Roy Enterprise.

"Roy's Increased Business Demands Telephone Service -   "Roy needs telephones. With its rapid growth and with the amount of business which it transacts daily there is constant need of telephone connections with the outside world. No one outside the town can imagine the important business relations which the town of Roy has with outside business firms. It is one of the leading business towns of Fergus county, supplying hundreds of square miles of country, a town there the commercial tide runs high. Not only that but Roy is a center of interest to hundreds of outsiders and safe to say that not a day goes by in which outsiders do not want a connection with Roy."

  Roy is the terminus of the branch line of the Chicago and St. Paul Railway, about 35 miles northeast of Lewistown, the county seat, and on the main trunk line of the park to park highway now completed from Lewistown to Roy - one of the finest highways in the state.
  Geographically, Roy is the most centrally located town in the county, and is the distributing point for a vast territory extending north to the Missouri river, east to the Musselshell river, south to Ford creek and west to the Armells, embodying over one million acres of virgin land of which more than half is well adapted to the agricultural purposes and will produce splendid crops of wheat, corn, oats alfalfa and other small grains as well as any kind of truck garden, from cabbage to watermelons while the balance of the land is more adapted for grazing purposes
  Roy is a lovely little town of about 400 inhabitants and a very good trading point with 35 business firms. It is well represented in all line of business has three church organizations and a splendid grade and high school system.
  As this community has been subjected to every hardship that could occur in a country in such a short time, it ^{P. 290} has not been subjected to any boom or inflation in land values. This has been a misfortune for those that lived through it, for the time being but will be of real benefit to those that want to avail themselves of the opportunity of getting a farm as land can nor be bought for from $10 to $40 per acre and at terms to suit any investor. Two years rent on a Mississippi valley farm will pay for a good farm here, that will raise as many bushels per acre on the average as any land in the country.
  Furthermore Roy will be the center of activity in a vast area for the exploration of oil. Three rigs are now testing the Black Butte structure 10 miles southeast of Roy and the Standard of California is drilling on the Armells structure 12 miles southwest of Roy, while there are dozens of structures that have not had the attention of investors due to the past financial stress
  We honestly believe that the Roy territory, though hard hit to begin with, has a brighter future than any country known. With a positive proof that wheat crops have been raised here in the year 1915 yielding up to 54 bushels per acre on poor farming and 1921 considered a very unfavorable year, raised from 20 to 88 bushels of wheat per acre, with corn up to 40 bushels per acre, rye 24 bushels per acre and alfalfa from two to four tons per acre, and with the chances for oil throughout the whole territory, those that avail themselves of the opportunity of buying land now, before the value becomes generally known, will never regret the small investment it takes The potential wealth of this country holds fortunes in store for the farmer and investor.

  The first telephone was installed in Roy in 1916. For many years Ed Kalal had the only phone. Later Pearl Smith had a phone in her store in Roy. In 1961 MidRivers Telephone Cooperative brought phone service in to everybody in the area.
  The towns of Fergus and Roy and the immediate area surrounding received electricity in the fall of 1939. Those living east, down to Valentine received electricity in 1952 as far as Baumans, and the next year it was installed on to Valentine. Those living south of Roy received service about the same time.
  The area north of Roy, towards the river, did not get electricity until after the highway and bridge were constructed, in 1960.
  The Roy community began work on a water-sewer system the latter part of the 1970's, with Federal Grant funding. The project was completed about 1981.

  The businessmen of Roy organized the Roy Volunteer Firemen in Stephens Livery Barn in 1914. In April of 1915 they purchased a hand-pulled chemical wagon, as described in an April 29 issue of the Roy Enterprise -The machine comprised of two 36 gallon drums mounted on roller bearing wheels and with its 100 feet of high pressure hose will throw a stream of fire destroying liquid 100 feet from the end of the nozzle. They also had a hose which hooked onto the railroad water tank which could reach to several of the town businesses.
  The hand-pulled wagon was used until the first fire truck was purchased in 1959. It was quite a step up and it was with pride that residents of the community watched as Fire Chief Richard Coulter drove the new Dodge truck out of the station. Special demonstrations were held to show proper operation of the equipment.
  Sometime later, in the 50's, a new fire station (in use today) was built with funds collected through donations. Fritz Corth was very active for many years as a volunteer fireman and devoted much time and energy towards the up-grading of fire protection service, as did Lynn Phillips.
  In the early years, up until in the 50's, the volunteer firemen held an annual New Years Eve Firemen's Ball to raise necessary funds. It was a very popular event. The volunteer firemen's organization became a tax supported rural fire district in the late 50's. Fire service was now extended to the outlying area around Roy. As such the district came under new rules and a board of directors was appointed, after which one or two new directors were elected, or appointed by the county commissioners at school election time each year. There was originally, to be one director from each grazing district one from Roy and one from west of Roy, for a total of five Some of the early directors were Vernon Puckett, John Siroky and Frank Cimrhakl Pat O'Reilly was fire chief for several years. Clay Smith and Mary Siroky served as secretary of the board.
  In 1965 the fire service was updated with the purchase of another truck. It was a 3/4 ton, 4-wheel drive Ford with a 300 gallon tank. By the mid 80's the fire equipment was pretty well outdated and in 1986 the old Dodge was retired and a brand new GMC truck complete with a new pumping system and a 300 gallon tank was purchased. It was put into good use several times that first year because of many grass fires.

  The district was created in 1910. The first trustees were J. H. Stephens, E. Maury and O. Romundstad. The first teacher was Grace Rowland. Between 1919 and 1969 several districts were transferred to #74, some abandoned, some consolidated. The first school was held at the Smith-Laraway Ranch in 1910 and part of 1911. The lumber was hauled from Lewistown and the first schoolhouse was built, located over the hill, south west of Roy, near the road. The labor and the hauling was all donated. School was held there until the town of Roy came into existence in 1913.
  In the fall of 1917 the Roy school offered some high school level work. H. C. Rude was the principal. He reported there were 5 students so far.
  The Roy High School started September 11, 1919, with an attendance of 30 pupils Miss Alice O'Hara was the Superintendent, P.M. Paulson taught math and latin and another teacher was to be hired. The board of trustees rented rooms over the Roy Mercantile Co. for a dormitory in charge of Mrs. Pew.
  The high school ran until June of 1922. Then the school closed because of shortage of money and students. By this time some of the original homesteaders had proved up on their places and began leaving the area.
  The high school reopened in September of 1927. It had 19 freshman and 5 sophomores Guy R. Bancroft was the principal. There was no financing for the school that year so the Roy Community Business Club headed a drive to get donations to run the school. They were so successful that they had a lot of people donating a sum each month for five months and at the end of the year there was a little money left that was refunded to the donators. Then they were able to get tax money and state aid for the school. Mr. Bancroft was so busy with classes that he wasn't able to have much sports. However, both the boys and girls had some local games and a sports program was planned for the future. Mrs. Joe Murphy helped at the high school by teaching a class or two. The school board was William Lane; chairman, Roy Umstead and L. M. Wass.
  In September 1928 the high school had a 3 yr. high school. The principal was Professor Ely. Miss Wilson taught English, History, Music and Glee Club. There were 29 students enrolled.
  In 1929 there was one graduate, Bernice Hanson, the first since 1922.
  In 1936 a new addition was added to the school to include a new gym and two class rooms. The head builder was Lee Karau. All the other men working under his direction were taken from the relief rolls. There was also a new furnace.
  The class of 1937 was the first to graduate in the new gym. This was the year football was first introduced to the school. They played 6 man football. There were 12 boys on the team: Nick Spiroff, George Trimble, Roy ^{P.  292}  Wolfe, Leland Ramharter, Merle Cox, Ernest Maruska, Russell Oquist, Willie Jones, Blaine Woodard, Charles Lee Willis, Jess Satterfield, and James Gradle. K. H. Holmstrom was the coach. This year there was a girl's basketball team but they only had 5 games as the weather was too bad to travel. Other activities were an 8-piece orchestra, and school plays. The plays were often taken to Valentine and other towns.
  The graduating Class of 1938 was the largest class in the history of Roy with 20 seniors that year 1972 was the second largest with 19 seniors.
  November 26, 1943 the high school building burned down. School was held in five buildings around town. Agnes Bauman was the janitor and her grandson, Monte Lund helped her She would have to go around town and start fires in the stoves of each room, then return after school to clean in each room. On February 15, 1945 the Farmers' Union Hall burned down. The fourth, fifth and sixth grade classes had been meeting there under the teaching of Miss DeBocb. No one was injured as the pupils filed out quickly and much of the school furniture and supplies were saved. A bond election to construct a new school was passed in the fall of 1944. January 20, 1947 the new high school building opened.
  In the 1947 school annual the pictures of the grade school children were included for the first time. Before that time the annual was just high school 
  In 1948 girl's and boy's basketball was started again after having been discontinued when the school burned. In 1949, 6 man football was again started after not having it for seven years. The band re-organized in the fall of 1947 under the direction of Mr. C.A. Kelly. Many of the instruments had burned in the school. 
  The Veterans Agriculture On Farm Training Program started in 1949 and ran for several years. The U.S. government sponsored the program with no expense to the veterans. They met twice a week at the school to conduct regular classes and complete agricultural projects. The class was under the guidance of J. W. Kalina as instructor The program was a great success and helped the veterans in farming projects which included all phases of farming.
  The Babe Ruth Sportsman Award was first made in 1950. It was awarded each year to a Senior boy and girl who in the opinion of their fellow students, had made the greatest contribution to the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play during the year. A plaque was given to the school and the names were engraved each year The Foundation was incorporated as an organization dedicated to the youth of America by Babe Ruth. A medal was presented to each senior boy and girl. This award was last presented in 1971.
  Roy first participated in the Girls State/Boys State program in 1948. This is a program designed to give high school students an opportunity to study how the state and local governments operate. The program is sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary. The students submit an essay on why they would like to go and then teachers vote on the students based on citizenship, grades contribution to school life and general attitude. This program is still active in the school. In 1954 the Roy Pirates took first in the District 9 football championship. The coach was Bill Nugent. The manager was Port Wood. The team captains were Glen Rindal and Melvin Campbell. Others on the team were Bob Clark, George Phillips Jack Styer, Gene Wright, Dan Cimrhakl, Larry Emery, Dean Walrod, Blaine Komarek.
  In 1960 the Roy Pirates took Second in the district football tournament.
  In 1950 there was a law passed forbidding girls to play basketball as it was thought to be hazardous to their health. As a result there were no girls basketball games for a few years, They did have badminton, volleyball, ping pong, tumbling, square dancing, softball, track and archery.
  In 1961 five Roy students were winners in the Lewistown District Science Fair. The students were Clyde Martin, Allan Christensen, Jesse Harrell, Larry Kalina, and Mary Dale Meckling. They competed at the state Science Fair where Jesse Harrell was again a winner.
  In 1963, Larry Ed Jordan won the Decathlon event at the divisional track meet for the third year in a row. Roy High School became the permanent owner of a fine trophy. When this program and trophy was set up in 1960 it was thought that no one school would ever have any one athlete or even a group of athletes who could win this event 3 years in a row. Larry proved them very wrong.
  In 1976, the boys basketball team won the district basketball tournament and went to the state tournament. The coach was Conrad Robertson and assistant coach Steve Opheim. The manager was Brad Anderson. On the team were Cy Mosby, Rod Rindal, Tyler Peters Mark Robbins Tim Jones, Arnie Duncan, Marty Robbins Carson Rife, Mike Montgomery, Rick Thompson, Rich Bowser, and Randy Emery. This year the track team won the district championship for the first time since 1969. Six boys qualified for the state meet in Billings. They were Mike Montgomery, Marty Robbins, Randy Emery, Mark Robbins Rich Bowser, Dave Bowland.
 These are a few of the highlights of the Roy school. There are many more but this is the information that was available.
