Missoula is a historical city situated in the Northern Rockies of Montana, offering access to seven major wilderness areas and three flowing rivers. It sits at the confluence of these three rivers, making it a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts and individuals who want to escape the bustle of big-city life. Residents don't have to sacrifice modern amenities, as the city offers access to upscale dining, shopping, and an incredible live music scene.
European settlers established the area as Hellgate Trading Post in the mid-19th century, although they moved their settlement by about 5 miles and renamed it Missoula Mills. The mills offered supplies to those traveling along Mullan Road. After Fort Missoula was established, the city experienced rapid growth and became the chosen site for the first university in the state. The presence of the university, coupled with the lumber industry, fueled the city's economy for the next century.
Today over 73,000 people reside in the city, and another 40,000 live in the Missoula Metropolitan Area. The University of Montana is still located within its limits and has over 10,000 students.
The state of Montana is massive, and its residents are widespread. Missoula is the state's cultural center with a unique mix of college students, sports fans, outdoor enthusiasts, and individuals who want to live off the land. Some of the structures located in its downtown area are on the National Historic Registry. Missoula hosts various events each year, including the River City Roots Festival, the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, and the International Wildlife Film Festival.
No matter what brings you to Missoula, you're sure to find something about this laid-back city that appeals to you.
