Chouteau County, located in the great state of Montana, holds an important place in the history of the American West. Established on February 2, 1865, Chouteau County was one of the original nine counties in the Montana Territory, named after Pierre Chouteau Jr., a prominent fur trader of French descent. The county encompasses an area of 3,997 square miles.

The region was home to several Native American tribes, such as the Blackfeet, Cree, and Gros Ventre, and served as a crucial location for fur trading in the early 19th century. The establishment of Fort Benton in 1846, originally named Fort Lewis, by the American Fur Trading Company solidified the area's significance as a trading center. Fort Benton, located on the Missouri River, was the last fur trading post on the Missouri River system and became known as the "Birthplace of Montana."

Chouteau County played a vital role in the westward expansion and development of Montana, as it was a primary stop along the Mullan Road, the first wagon road to connect the Missouri River with the Columbia River. Completed in 1860, the road greatly facilitated the movement of goods, people, and ideas between the East and the West.

Agriculture has long been a backbone of Chouteau County's economy. The fertile lands, along with the access provided by the railroads, led to the growth of wheat and livestock production.

A fun fact about Chouteau County is that it is home to the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, a unique landscape of deep canyons, towering cliffs, and diverse plant and animal life. The region also houses an impressive collection of prehistoric and historic cultural sites, including teepee rings, former buffalo jumps, and remnants of river camps used by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805.
