RICHEY

Located between Sidney and Circle, Richey was named for the first postmaster, Clyde Richey. The Shell Oil Company discovered oil nearby on July 13, 1951, in Williston Basin; many wells remain active. As a lively, small and friendly town, Richey has a variety of businesses to serve visitors. It hosts the annual Richey Rodeo, which takes place on the third Sunday in July, and the Richey Historical Museum features more than 7,000 artifacts.
