Montana is an inland U.S.
state largely in the western United States, but because of its immense
size stretches into the north-central United States. Although Montana
is often regarded as mountainous, about 60% of the state is actually
prairie in the Great Plains. The central and western two-thirds of
the state have numerous mountain ranges (approximately 77 named) of
the northern Rocky Mountains; thus the state's name, derived from
the Spanish word montaña ("mountain"). The state
nickname is the "Treasure State." Other nicknames include
"Land of Shining Mountains", "Big Sky Country",
and the slogan "the last best place". The state ranks fourth
in size (~145,000 square miles) but has a relatively low population
(with only six states having fewer people) and consequently a very
low population density. The economy is primarily based on agriculture
- wheat, barley, sugar beets, oats, rye, seed potatoes, honey, cherries,
cattle and sheep ranching - and significant lumber and mineral extraction
(gold, coal, silver, talc, and vermiculite). Tourism is also important
to the economy with millions of visitors a year to Glacier National
Park, Flathead Lake, the Missouri River headwaters, the site of the
Battle of Little Bighorn and three of the five entrances to Yellowstone
National Park.
Montana was originally inhabited by several ethnolinguistic groups
of American Indians, including the Blackfoot, (Siksika), Crow, Cheyenne,
Bannock, Shoshoni and Nez Perce. The Lewis and Clark Expedition
of 1804–1806 was the first group of European-American explorers
to cross Montana. Today, most of these Native American nations still
call Montana home and Montana has seven Native American Indian reservations,
more than any other. Modern-day Montana became Montana Territory
in 1864 by appointment of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and became
the 41st state in 1889. The state was the first to elect a female
member of Congress (Jeannette Rankin), and was one of the first
states to give women voting rights; (see suffrage). Despite its
sizable American Indian population, Montana is one of the most homogenous
states— nearly 90% of its residents are of European descent,
with a large number of immigrants of German, Irish, Norwegian, Welsh,
Cornish, Italian and Slovak heritage arriving in the late 19th and
early 20th centuries
