Helena, MT Real Estate

Helena is the capital of the State of Montana. As of the 2000 census, its population was 25,780, but with the surrounding area the population reaches 67,636 [1]. It is the county seat of Lewis and Clark County. The local daily newspaper is the Independent Record, and there is a free weekly newspaper, the Queen City News (reflecting the city's nickname). The Helena Brewers minor league baseball team call the city home.

The town was established on October 30, 1864, following the discovery of gold along Last Chance Creek by the " Four Georgians ". Helena's main street is named Last Chance Gulch and follows the winding path of the original creek through the historic downtown district.

The town was originally named " Crabtown ", after John Crab, one of the "Four Georgians" later it was changed to Pumpkinville then they chnged it to Squashtown. As other miners arrived and the town expanded it was decided to change the name. After many suggestions, John Sommerville suggested the name of his home town, Saint Helena, Minnesota, but the pronunciation ( Hel-E-na ) did not suit the miners, who preferred HELL-en-a. Dropping "Saint" from the name as unnecessary, the new name Helena was adopted (defeating the name " Tomah " by only two votes).
