Petroleum County, Montana
.Petroleum County, located in the great state of Montana, was established on February 25, 1925. It was the last of the state's 56 counties to be formed, created out of the eastern portion of Fergus County. The county gets its name from the rich oil reserves in the region, with "petroleum" being a reference to the oil industry.
The county is situated in central Montana and is relatively small and rural, covering an area of 1,674 square miles. Winnett is the county seat, which was named after Walter John Winnett, a Canadian rancher who was captured by a Sioux tribe and later adopted by them. After learning their language and being bestowed the name "Honest as the Stars," Winnett would later play a key role in the interactions between the Sioux and white settlers.
A significant portion of the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge lies within the boundaries of Petroleum County, which is home to a plethora of wildlife species, including more than 250 types of birds, 30 species of fish, and numerous mammals such as elk, deer, and antelope.
A fun fact about Petroleum County is that despite its name and history of oil reserves, it is actually one of the least populated counties in Montana with a population of fewer than 500 residents. This low population density makes it an attractive destination for those seeking quietude, outdoor recreation, and opportunities for wildlife watching.
