Hobson is a city in Judith Basin County, Montana, United States. The population was 179 at the 2020 census.[4]
As the freight-wagon crossing of the Judith River between Fort Benton and the Musselshell River country, this community was once known as the “Gateway to the Judith Basin.”[5] In 1881 the post office opened under the name Philbrook. In 1908, however, the Great Northern Railway’s Billings and Northern branch line established another town 4 miles west.[5] After some dispute the railroad decided on the town name Hobson, after the owner of the new townsite.
