Stevensville holds the distinct honor of being the place “Where Montana Began”. Just imagine what it must have been like more than 180 years ago when the community sprouted from a small church built by Jesuit missionaries working with the Bitterroot Salish Tribe. Everything that happened at that time was a first in the area, and those who settled around what’s now Stevensville, MT, became part of the original history of the state. It would take almost 40 years for the town of Stevensville to become platted, and another 20 years for Marcus Daly, known as one of the three “Copper Kings” of Butte, MT, to arrive in the Bitterroot Valley. And all that was by the year 1887.
