Butte, Montana is one of the state’s most interesting and history-filled cities. The city was once a major mining site, first mining gold and silver but moving on to copper when household electricity caught on in the early 20th century. As a result, Butte was once the largest city in Montana according to some sources, which claim the city had a population as large as 60,000 people in 1920. However, as a result of the closing of the mines in Butte, the once booming city has shrank down to a population of just over 34,000 people.
As a mining town, Butte prospered, with many citizens living a free-wheeling lifestyle and visiting the city’s notorious red light district frequently. The district was home to the Dumas Brothel, the country’s longest standing legal house of prostitution. The Dumas Brothel ran from 1890 until it was shut down in 1982 as a result of income tax violations. Due to the toxicity produced by the mining efforts in Butte, the city is also the home of the most expensive Superfund project in America. Heavy metals and toxic waste are still being treated and removed from the surrounding area, about 120 miles of which is affected.
Aesthetically, Butte very much resembles its early 20th century self, as many old buildings are still standing, some of which are still occupied. Butte is very much a historical treasure in Montana, so get free Butte auto transport quotes today to start your move there.
