Billings County was originally created as Norton, but on March 6, 1873, an act of the state legislature changed the name to Billings in honor of N. H. Billings, of Norton Center, representative from the 100th district. The change was in the nature of a jest and at the next session of the legislature on Feb. 25, 1874, the name was changed back to Norton. (See Norton County.)
