Powell County History

It was the allure of gold, FIRST discovered in Montana at Powell County’s Gold Creek in 1852. But it was not until about 1860 that people began the rush to the area. Mining camps, some of which became towns, sprang up overnight, and many disappeared almost as fast. Gone are the communities of American Fork, Pioneer, Blackfoot City, Finn, Champion and Danielsville.

A decline in gold and an increase in transportation moved the economy of the county toward ranching, though ranching was important in the mining era to feed the miners. In fact the Montana cattle industry actually started in Powell County, another one of our FIRSTS.
