Montana became the 41st state on November 8, 1889.
Its civic profile is shaped by tribal nations, ranching, mining, public lands, energy, tourism, small towns, and the challenge of governing large rural areas with long distances between services. Public decisions about roads, wildfire, water, schools, health care, housing, and land use often carry practical consequences for communities far from the capital.
