Area Information

Lewistown's rich cultural heritage began when the Metis, an aboriginal peoples from Canada, in their Red River carts followed the dwindling buffalo herds and settled here in 1879. Open range ranchers, gold miners and homesteaders soon followed. The town became an incorporated city in 1899. The beautiful golden domed Fergus County Court House was erected in 1907. Between 1905 and 1919, Lewistown experienced a period of rapid growth and prosperity. Prominent businessmen invested in elaborate buildings on Main Street and created mansions for their families within walking distance of their business ventures.
