Yellowstone National Park (part), Montana

Yellowstone National Park (part) was a former county-equivalent in southwestern Montana, a state in the northwestern United States.

Geography

Its boundaries were the same as the Montana section of Yellowstone National Park, which is primarily within Wyoming. Its county-equivalent's total area was 246.11 square miles (637.42 km2), with 245.38 square miles (635.54 km2) of land and 0.727 square miles (1.884 km2) of water.

Its status as a county-equivalent was dissolved in 1978, and its territory apportioned between its two adjacent Montana counties: Gallatin County and Park County. Gallatin County received 99.15 square miles (256.81 km2) of land area and 0.119 square miles (0.309 km2) of water area, whereas Park County received 146.23 square miles (378.73 km2) of land area and 0.608 square miles (1.575 km2) of water area.

Census data

The United States Census Bureau did not adjust for the county-equivalent's dissolution until 1997, 19 years after the reapportionment into 2 counties.[1] The transferred areas were then designated by the Census Bureau as Census Tract 14 in Gallatin County, and Census Tract 6 in Park County.[2] The designations did not change the area's status as part of Yellowstone National Park.

In the 1990 census, the last one before the Census Bureau reapportionment, the county-equivalent had a population of 52 persons. In the 2000 census, the combined population of Tracts 6 and 14 had grown to 61 persons.

gollark: Well, I think so, anyway, I may be misremembering.
