History
The East Gallatin Recreation Area began as a gravel pit and the city dump.[4]:5 Early photos show a steep sided water filled pit, surrounded by weeds plus just to the east old refrigerators and car parts poking partly out of the grassless ground. The land was transferred to the state parks department by Glen Hash, whose business owned the gravel pit and some adjacent land.The cleanup was accomplished through local donations and volunteer labor.
The area is named for the small East Gallatin River forming the east edge of the park.[4]:5
