Laurel’s industrial growth and development into a suburb of Billings
Laurel is a growing residential city located north of the Yellowstone River and about 20 miles away from Billings. “Laurel has a small-town feel, and that’s an appeal. You have one high school there, and people like that your kids grow up in the same town and attend all the same schools. That creates community,” says Drew Hedrick, a Tightline Property Brokers LLC broker at Real Estate Hub Billings, licensed since 2009. “Another reason people look in Laurel is that its home prices tend to be more affordable than those in Billings. It’s only a few miles away and has both a refinery and a railroad hub, which employ many people and give opportunities to have a good-paying job in town while still getting lower real estate prices.”
In the 1880s, it was a wheat farming community and, in the 1910s, it became a leading terminal of the Great Northern railroad. The railroad boom led to mass construction, including local businesses and homes. The agriculture and railroad industries held strong through the late 1920s, when an oil refinery was added to the landscape. Decades later, when the interstate was finished in southern Laurel, the city’s commercial center shifted and national chains became commonplace.
Main Street leads toward Laurel’s industrial district and retail centers.

Natural recreation near Yellowstone River, parks and Laurel Golf Club
The Bureau of Land Management oversees the Sundance Lodge Recreation Area, an open space on the Yellowstone River that includes equestrian-friendly paths and designated hunting areas. “People get on the river and do inner tube floats," Hedrick says. "It’s a made area where you can get outside and do anything. It has hiking and biking trails, you can walk a dog or fish.”
Many parks in Laurel have open space and playgrounds, such as Kiwanis Park, which has a castle climbing structure. Nutting and Thompson parks both have baseball fields. Thompson Park also has a splash park and hosts the annual Independence Day celebration with fireworks.
The Laurel Golf Club is an 18-hole course that requires membership.
