More on Missoula

Missoula was founded in 1860 and was originally a trading post called Hell Gate Village by Christopher P. Higgins. In 1866 it was renamed Missoula, a Salish Native American name for the Clark Fork River. The Northern Pacific Railway reached Missoula in 1883, helping to fuel its development.

The economy of Missoula was supported by the lumber industry until the 1990s, when the decline in the industry was accompanied by a rise in the tourism industry.
