Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman

Details

Collection SummaryMontana is a vast landscape whose history and significance are of interest to both its residents and tourists passing through. As long as humans have inhabited Montana they have been naming places, and as long as waves of settlement have occurred, other people have been re-naming some of those same places. The Native peoples of Montana that inhabit the seven reservations and surrounding communities have their own names for these places. Clues to the meaning of the past can be found in the names that grace the contemporary Montana highway map, and the guidebook and this accompanying web application strive to illuminate some of the mysteries. The entries document the names as we currently know them, and whenever possible, include both the history of the present name, as well as any and all previous names.Navigation
