DescriptionEstablished as a station stop in February 1883 by the Northern Pacific Railroad, this town takes its name from the nearby stream. The post office opened under the same name in 1885. In 1910, the townsite was moved downstream to the opposite side of the creek, on a timbered area newly cleared by Jim Hylent. The town experienced an economic boost with construction of the Noxon Rapids Dam (1955–56), upstream near Noxon.Personal NamesHylent, JimContributing InstitutionMontana Historical Society Library and ArchivesGeolocation[1] Elevation2366 ft.CountySanders County
