Amazing Whitefish... The remarkable town of Whitefish in the northwest corner of Montana began in the late 1800's as a fur trading center. Then in the early 1900's, railroad workers cut the first trees for the Whitefish town site, hence the name "Stumptown". Whitefish later flourished with both the logging industry and the Great Northern Railway, and today it enjoys all the best qualities of a quaint alpine village retaining much of the charm and charisma of its early days. Whitefish, Montana is also the home of The Great Northern Brewing Co. and Black Star Beer. A Year Round Paradise... Whitefish offers full range of activities including skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, or just a pleasant conversation around a cozy fire. Summer offers endless outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, horse-back riding, boating and fishing. During fall and spring the pace slows down a bit providing a great opportunity to soak up the natural beauty of the area. Truly, Whitefish is "Beyond Expectations!" The Flathead Valley... Part of the Flathead Valley's (population 72,772 - 99 Census) charm is its unique collection of diverse villages, communities and towns. Kalispell, County Seat and the center of commerce, is the major retail center in Northwest Montana. To the north, our mountain resort village of Whitefish nestles below Big Mountain Ski & Summer Resort. Columbia Falls is the western gateway to Glacier National Park, and Bigfork and Lakeside frame the east and west shores of Flathead Lake. These communities plus a host of small villages offer shopping (no state sales tax), galleries, fine dining, festivals and special events. Technology... Connected to all major global business centers through state-of-the- art technology including fiber optic phone cable, satellite, and two Internet service providers linked worldwide through four T1 Trunk lines. Schools... The School Districts have earned the reputation as a positive, efficient, and effective provider of education to the youth of the community.
