The name ‘Huntley Project’ is short for Huntley Irrigation Project, which was
the second U.S. Bureau of Reclamation irrigation project. The area was part of
the Crow Indian Reservation from 1874 to 1904 when the government purchased the
35,000 acres, stretching across 27 miles from Huntley, east to the Little Bull
Mountains.
