The Territorial legislature authorized Billings County in 1879, naming it for Northern Pacific Railway president Frederick H. Billings. It was organized seven years later, on May 4, 1886, at a meeting in Medora. The county's area was later reduced by erecting new counties: Golden Valley County in 1912 and Slope County in 1915. Medora is the county seat.
The only city of Billings County is Medora. Unincorporated communites are those of Fairfield, Borham, Fryburg, Scoria Point Corner, Six Mile Corner, and Sully Springs.
