Deer Lodge City: Montana's Ancient Mining Hub and Modern County Seat
Deer Lodge City in Powell county hosts a long mining and settlement history from 1852 gold finds to later railroad expansion. The town evolved from Cottonwood to LaBarge City then Deer Lodge, hosting the College of Montana, Saint Mary's Academy, Saint Josephs hospital, a modern penitentiary, multiple churches, a 1903 library, and now a division-point railroad town with about fifteen hundred residents.
