Montana State Overview

State of the US Confederacy. Initially reached by the French (1742) and later by the trading companies (North West company, American fur company), explored by Lewis and Clark, it was populated after the discovery of gold (1852-64), arousing the reaction of the natives. In 1889, after the discovery of silver and copper mines, it became part of the Union as a state.

The capital city of Montana is Helena. It is located in the western part of the state and sits at an elevation of 3,800 feet above sea level. With a population of over 30,000 people, Helena is the fifth largest city in Montana. The city was founded as a gold camp during the Montana gold rush in 1864 and has since developed into a vibrant and active community. Helena is known for its many attractions including its historic sites like the Last Chance Gulch Historic District, its outdoor activities such as skiing, fishing, and hiking, and its vibrant downtown area with shops, restaurants, bars, and galleries.
