DescriptionAnaconda is a copper-smelting boom town founded in the late 1800s. Copper that was mined in Butte was processed in Anaconda, and the community grew up around those jobs. Anaconda’s blue-collar roots and melting-pot culture have helped create a colorful, tightly knit community. The historic smokestack, which greets visitors entering town from the east, breaks the sky-line as a locally beloved icon for days gone by.Home PageAnaconda-Deer Lodge CountyCityAnacondaContributor TypeCity GovernmentCollectionAnaconda Historic PhotosAnaconda Catholic Central High School YearbooksAnaconda High School Yearbooks
