About Deer Lodge, MT

Extant mentions of the Deer Lodge Valley prior to 1860 are found as occasional remarks in records written for other purposes. Consistent record-keeping begins with the writings of Granville Stuart and others in the early 1860s. [a] 1860 marks the beginning of permanent occupation of both the valley and the future site of the city of Deer Lodge by European-Americans. Before 1860, the Deer Lodge Valley was not the territory of any American Indian group. Gatherings were held there, including horse races.
