The first permanent settlement was founded in 1860. Earliest Missoula Today's Missoula lies at the bottom of what once was Glacial Lake Missoula, a proglacial lake which stretched from south and east of Missoula north to today's Flathead Lake and west to Idaho's Lake Pend Oreille. Held in place by a glacial dam, this lake drained and refilled repeatedly over 2,000 years during the past Ice Age.

The oldest artifacts date from the end of the glacial lake period around 12,000 years ago with the first-known settlements dating from 3,500 BC. From the 170 ...
