Lewistown: The Geographic Center of Montana
Lewistown sits near the center of Montana, an isolated town surrounded by the Judith, Snowy, and Moccasin mountain ranges. The surveyed geographic center of the state lies roughly 11 miles to the west-northwest, a distinction Lewistown has marketed since the early 20th century. The town was established in 1879 at the site of a military camp built to protect Carroll Trail travelers on their way from the Missouri River to the Helena goldfields.
Fergus County, named for Scottish-born Montana rancher and politician James Fergus, formed in 1885 with Lewistown as its county seat. The Judith Basin around the town became major sheep and cattle country in the late 19th century and remains agricultural today. Big Spring Creek, which flows through the center of town and is fed by one of the largest freshwater springs in the United States, supports an active trout fishery and provides the town's drinking water.
The Central Montana Historical Association operates a museum in the 1913 Carnegie Library building. Frontier-era architecture survives in the Croatian- and Slovenian-influenced stone buildings of the Silk Stocking residential district and in the sandstone commercial buildings along Main Street. The population has held relatively steady at around 5,000 to 6,000 for decades, in contrast with the growth seen in the state's larger urban centers.
