Dude ranch is a Western-style ranch that receives paying guests. These guests are usually city dwellers who get little physical activity and contact with nature. Three brothers, Howard, Alden, and Willis Eaton, established what is believed to be the West's first dude ranch near present-day Medora, North Dakota, about 1880. The ranch moved to a location near Sheridan, Wyoming, in 1904.
