History

In the 1880s cattlemen formed large cattle companies and used the land for grazing large herds. Partners of the Northwestern Land Cattle Company, realizing the need for a town, formed the Northwestern Town Site Company and purchased of land in the center of Section 36. One of the largest cattle companies was the Northwestern Land Cattle Company. Although the community was named after him, Benjamin Bird was not born, did not die, and never resided here. Since Benjamin Bird was the president of the newly formed company and a well-respected person in the community, the town Bird City was named.
