A view from 1939:

GALLATIN GATEWAY, (4,906 alt., 160 pop.), near the entrance to Gallatin Canyon is announced by an arch of logs over the highway. The town exists only through the tourist trade, and so its residents strive for rustic and picturesque effect in their buildings. Until the railroad company made it the terminus of a branch line to Yellowstone Park, it was known as Salesville, for Zach Sales who had a mill here in the late 1860's to saw logs driven down the Gallatin River.
