The area around Great Falls was inhabited for a long time by indigenous peoples, especially Blackfoot Indians. In the summer of 1805, the explorers of the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached the great falls.
In May 1882, Paris Gibson came to Great Falls and planned to build a town. He was financially supported by James J. Hill, the president of the Great Northern Railway. The town was finally founded in 1884, and the first railroad arrived at the station in 1887. In 1950, Great Falls was the largest city in Montana.
