Just east of the continental divide, Montana was part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Following Lewis and Clark's expedition, and after striking gold in the late 1850s, Montana was admitted to the U.S. as a territory on May 26th, 1864 and as the 41st state on November 8th, 1889.

Hardin, Montana set the scene for the Native Americans' last stand against the United States in the Battle of Little Big Horn, where Sitting Bull and his braves defeated Colonel Custer. The Nez Perce Wars were also fought in Montana.

Cattle ranching has always been a main factor in Montana's economy and history. The Grant-Kohrs Ranch in Deer Lodge Valley is preserved as a historic remembrance of ranching in the 1800s. While it is maintained as a historic site by the National Park Service, it is also a 1,900 acre working ranch.
