The Lamar Buffalo Ranch was created to preserve one of the last free-roaming bison (buffalo) herds in the United States. The ranch was established in 1907 when 28 bison were moved from Fort Yellowstone to the Lamar Valley in the northeast portion of the park.^[2] The herd was maintained as a semi-domesticated source of additional bison the enhance the park's natural herd. The animals at the ranch were plains bison, a distinct subspecies which differed from the park's native mountain bison. As a result, the park herd is now a hybrid of the two subspecies.^[3]

The ranch supported bison ranching into the 1950s. It is presently used by the Yellowstone Institute.

The historic district comprises five buildings built between 1915 and the 1930s. Eighteen rustic cabins are nearby. The historic district includes the ranger station, built in 1915, the bunkhouse, built in 1929, a residence which was moved from Soda Butte in 1938, a 1927 barn and a corral.^[3]
