Glendale and Deweys Montana Pioneer Towns in Beaverhead County
Beaverhead County's Glendale rose as a trade hub between Salt Lake City and Butte in the 1879 1882 period, later waning after Utah Northern railroad arrival in 1881. The Hecla Consolidated Mining Co. smelter and a strong mercantile sector sustained jobs, with a 300 population and diverse local amenities, while Argenta and surrounding mines faced fluctuating fortunes.
