About Montana

The Big Sky Country encompasses 94.1 million acres, just over 147,040 square miles. Located in the western region of the United States, Canada forms its northern border. Neighboring states include North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Idaho.

Montana’s name derives from a Spanish word meaning “mountainous,” referencing the Rocky Mountains. Montana became the 41st state of the Union in 1889.

Nicknamed “Big Sky Country,” Montana is known for its abundance of wide open spaces and beautiful, unobstructed views of the horizon. The state flower is the Bitterroot, and the state bird is the Western Meadowlark.

The state is made up of 56 counties. Helena is the capital and the sixth largest city. Billings is the largest city by population. Anaconda, located in the southwestern region of the state, is the largest city by square miles.
