Both Fort Benton and Loma are steeped in history due to their locations on the mighty Missouri River.  During your trip to Fort Benton, you will be fascinated with the deep history stemming back to the days when Montana was still a territory.  From 1846 on, for fur traders, cowboys, Indians, soldiers and western pioneers, Fort Benton was a gathering place.  All sorts of people gathered, overnighted, resupplied, socialized and then headed out to their various destinations.  Located on the west bank of the Missouri River, it was the last stop for the steam ships traveling up the river.  After all, it was an American Fur Company Trading Post with accessibility via steamship. When you visit, make a stop at the Grand Union Hotel, take in the beauty of this small town, enjoy the history, the river, the hospitality, and you will certainly not want to leave. It is undoubtedly, the best small town in Montana.
