 Located in the rolling plains of north central Montana, Havre began over 100 years ago as the first trains forged across the Great Plains. Havre quickly became the transportation hub of the area, providing goods and supplies to the area trappers, miners and military stationed at Fort Assinniboine, six miles southwest of town.
The diverse geography of the Milk River, golden wheat fields and the rising peaks of the Bear Paw Mountains towering several thousand feet above the plains surround the city of Havre. The peaks of Mount Baldy, Bates and Otis have elevations of 6,000 to 7,000 feet and are all within 20 minutes of Havre. |
