Twodot located along the Musselshell River in central Montana on Highway 12 between Harlowton and White Sulphur Springs. The town was named for "Two Dot" Wilson, a local cattleman who got his nickname because his brand was two dots, placed side by side on the hip of his cattle. Two Dot was founded in 1900 as a station on the Jawbone Railway, local predecessor to the Milwaukee Road.
