Home to numerous Native American tribes, the northeastern half of Montana (above the Missouri River) was claimed by the United States in 1803. However, it was not until gold was discovered in the area that many Americans moved there. The Montana area became known as the Montana Territory in 1864 in the midst of the American Civil War. Later, on November 8, 1889, it became a state.

abstract
  • Home to numerous Native American tribes, the northeastern half of Montana (above the Missouri River) was claimed by the United States in 1803. However, it was not until gold was discovered in the area that many Americans moved there. The Montana area became known as the Montana Territory in 1864 in the midst of the American Civil War. Later, on November 8, 1889, it became a state. The earliest immigrants into the state were Chinese workers brought in to work the gold and copper mines in the late nineteenth century. However, the white population began to greatly outnumber the indigenous peoples when the Homestead Act of 1862 was revised early in the twentieth century. For a period of about twenty years immigrants and first-generation Americans poured into the state with the promise of "free land" from the US government. From 1900 to 1920 the population doubled from around 250,000 to over 540,000 people. This was followed by a net decrease in population in the 1920's, followed by slow growth that began when folks began to move west to escape the failure of the "good life" in the nation's urban areas on both coasts. Steady, though slower, growth for fifty years (spurred by an agricultural and tourism based economy) resulted in almost only about a fifty percent increase to around 750,000 in 1983.
