The Lodge at Diamond Cross has a long history – it was once home to Native Americans that camped along the pristine Tongue River. The same river they would have to cross several times on their treks to Sheridan. At times, the cavalry camped here prior to battles that were fought in the region.

Throughout the ranch, there were many Norwegian families that settled and homesteaded in the area, although few buildings remain standing today.

The Lodge at Diamond Cross was once known as the Flying V Ranch. With the purchase of the Flying V in the early 1940’s, the ranch was renamed The Lodge at Diamond Cross and was operated as it had always been, a working cattle ranch.
