Checkerboard takes its name from nearby Checkerboard Creek, though the origin of the creek's name is uncertain. As of 1995, it had a year-round population of 22 and a summer population of 30 to 50 residents. It is home to an annual Labor Day parade, which the Billings Gazette speculated may be the smallest parade in Montana.[2]
