Montana WineriesWelcome to our Montana Wineries Page,
Here is a sampling of the Winery listings to plan your road trips from: Missoula area The first inhabitants, the American Indians from the Salish tribe. They called the area "Nemissoolatakoo," from which "Missoula" is derived. The word translates roughly to "river of ambush/surprise," The Indians' first encounter with whites came in 1805 when the Lewis and Clark expedition passed through the Missoula Valley. There were no permanent white settlements until 1860 when C. P. Higgins and Francis Worden opened a trading post called the Hellgate Village on the Blackfoot River near the eastern edge of the valley. It was followed by a sawmill and a flourmill, which the settlers called "Missoula Mills". The first post office in the area was named Hellgate and was established November 25, 1862, with Worden as the first postmaster. The name was changed to Missoula, May 14, 1866. The city's success was aided by two other factors. First was the opening of the University of Montana in September 1895, serving as the center of public higher education for Western Montana. Then, in 1908, Missoula became a regional headquarters for the Forest Service, which began training smokejumpers in 1942.
