Butte is the county seat of Silver Bow County, Montana, United States. In 1977, the city and county governments consolidated to form the sole entity of Butte-Silver Bow. The city covers 718 square miles (1,860 km2), and, according to the 2020 census, has a population of 34,494, making it Montana's fifth largest city. It is served by Bert Mooney Airport with airport code BTM.
Established in 1864 as a mining camp in the northern Rocky Mountains on the Continental Divide, Butte experienced rapid development in the late-nineteenth century, and was Montana's first major industrial city. In its heyday between the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, it was one of the largest copper boomtowns in the American West. Employment opportunities in the mines attracted surges of Asian and European immigrants, particularly the Irish; as of 2017, Butte has the largest population of Irish Americans per capita of any city in the United States.
Butte was also the site of various historical events involving its mining industry and active labor unions and Socialist politics, the most famous of which was the labor riot of 1914. Despite the dominance of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, Butte was never a company town. Other major events in the city's history include the 1917 Speculator Mine disaster, the largest hard rock mining disaster in world history.
Over the course of its history, Butte's mining and smelting operations generated in excess of $48 billion worth of ore, but also resulted in numerous environmental implications for the city: The upper Clark Fork River, with headwaters at Butte, is the largest Superfund site in the United States, and the city is also home to the Berkeley Pit. In the late-twentieth century, cleanup efforts from the EPA were instated, and the Butte Citizens Technical Environmental Committee was established in 1984. In the 21st century, efforts at interpreting and preserving Butte's heritage are addressing both the town's historical significance and the continuing importance of mining to its economy and culture. The city's Uptown Historic District, on the National Register of Historic Places, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States, containing nearly 6,000 contributing properties. The city is also home to Montana Technological University, a public engineering and technical university.

i love youtube for this reason. would probably never know what butte or other places is really like with these videos. i like exploring lol
What a small town in Montana.
Some of those houses and buildings I'm seeing looks really cool they look like about in 1900s or longer at least..
That's historic UP TOWN !
10:38 the statue right there is MARCUS DALY
3:17 I will never forget the m&m😢
It's not the prettiest of Montana's towns, but it doesn't have the ego problem of Missoula or Bozeman (or NYC price rents).
My old elementary school 1st-2nd grades on the right. 9:56
I remembered when I went to that school my cousin was there and one big thing that I remembered is seeing the big m while at recess
Pine Bluff AR needs to visit
That is historic Uptown Butte, not downtown.
Used to be downtown butte in the 1800s
I miss butte and all them festivals😭
👍
It’s a beautiful place. I used to live in Butte but I moved to Los Angeles😢
Lucky
Damn be safe in Los Angeles good luck with traffic and crime
Funny. I'm in Los Angeles now and trying to move to Missoula. LA is a dirty, polluted, ugly toilet and every time I go outside, I want to puke. No one here speaks English. There is stupid ass graffiti on every street sign, sidewalk, and building. Trash and dogshit litter every street. And every street corner has stacks of broken furniture. LA is a dump. If it wasn't for the illusion of "Hollywood" this city would be a 3rd world shit hole. Looking at the map and seems like Butte is about 2hr drive to Missoula.
@@mattryan5706 you don't know what you're talking about. LA is a shithole.
Butte is so pretty to me
Is the china town gone?
😛born there! 😊🇺🇲💕
Same
I would like to visit some rural area or small town in the United States one day.
Correct term is Uptown Butte.
That's uptown Butte.
Don’t come knocking
Everything you see in this video pretty much comes from what is under Butte. Minerals and without them and without oil and coal we would not enjoy the lifestyle we have today or the life expectancy. Do not let the global warming extremists lead you astray.
