Long since the lands of the future state of Montana were inhabited by Indians of such tribes as

Cheyenne, Crow, Blackfoot, Assyniboin, Gwanthra, Sioux (they are also Dakotas and Lakotas), etc.

The French appeared in this area in 1742. The territory of modern Montana east of the Rockies is part of Louisiana, bought from France in 1803. At the beginning of the XIX century, the area was explored during the expeditions of Lewis and Clark. Mehtorgovtsy and missionaries founded a number of settlements in the early XIX century.

In the period 1848-1864 biennium. various parts of Montana were part of various federal territories, such as:

Oregon (1848-1859), Washington (1853-1863), Idaho (1863-1864) and Dakota (1861-1864).

In the 1850s, solid deposits of gold and copper were discovered within the future Montana. May 26, 1864 Montana received the status of the federal territory of the United States. The name of the territory (and then the state) comes from the Spanish word montaa (mountain). Its first capital was Bannack. The first governor was Sidney Edgerton. In 1865, the capital of the territory was moved to Virginia City, and in 1875 - to the city of Helena.

In the late 1860s, several military forts were founded here, such as Fort Shaw, Kemp-Cook and Fort Smith. The colonization of Montana was accompanied by battles with the Indian tribes; the most famous happened in 1876 and became known as the Battle of Little Bighorn. The construction of the North Pacific Railway in 1883 led to a sharp increase in the population. The territory of Montana was incorporated into the USA on May 26, 1864, and on November 8, 1889, Montana was declared a state.
