Broadus is the county seat of Powder River County. The main economic driving force is agriculture. The Broadus post office was established in 1900, and named after the Broadus family, early settlers in the area. When the town's streets were being planned, they were made wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to turn around. The original streets are still this wide today. Broadus is often called one of the "biggest little towns in the West." Broadus is known today for its cattle, oil and outstanding school system. Visitors can stop by the Powder River Historical Museum to admire the general store, the original county jail, E. B. Ranch chuckwagon, antique cars, pioneer photos and Native American artifacts.
