Why Galloping Swede?
​
The name Galloping Swede comes from several Generations back. Among some of the first of our family to make the journey from Sweden to the United States in hopes of a better life was Hugo Aronson. After thousands of miles of open ocean, Ellis Island, more miles of riding boxcars, and many adventures in between, he ended up in Columbus, MT. He decided to call Montana home after a brakeman kicked him off the train. He learned to speak English, worked on ranches and farms, served in WW I for the United States, obtained his nickname The Galloping Swede for his hustle in the oil fields, built several businesses and served as the 14th Governor of Montana. He sponsored his nephew Sven Johanson who also built a life in the oil fields of Montana and Wyoming as a general contractor specializing in trucking. Sven settled in the American West, a long ways from his home in Sweden and raised a great family. Sven would be the great Granddad of the current owner of Galloping Swede LLC, still operating as a general contractor in Montana today.
