About Havre life
at its best
“I live here because I can stand outside at 10 below and still feel
winter’s warm embrace.”
Located in the rolling plains of north central
Montana, Havre began over 100 years ago as the first trains forged
across the Great Plains. Havre quickly became the transportation hub of
the area, providing goods and supplies to the area trappers, miners and
military stationed at Fort Assinniboine, six miles southwest of town
Havre is special because of its people.
They are people of vision and foresight who strive to maintain a quality
of life unequaled. This community of 10,000 is known for its
steadfastness, deep rooted family values and its small town ideals. Our
friendly community prides itself as an ideal place to raise a family,
start a business or retire. Besides being a great location nestled in
the Milk River Valley along Montana’s Hi-Line, where blue skies, and
wide-open spaces abound, Havre is life at
its best.
Havre
is the focal point of commercial activity in the area. As the largest
city on the Hi-Line and the county seat of Hill County, it serves as a
wholesale distribution and retail center for communities within 150
miles. The diverse geography of the Milk River, golden wheat fields and
the rising peaks of the
Bears Paw Mountains, towering several thousand feet above the plains
surround the city of Havre.
Havre
is home to Montana State University-Northern providing academic
excellence for over 75 years. Northern Montana Health Care is Havre’s
largest employer. As a community hospital, the facility provides the
best in medical care and treatment for the Hi-Line.
Those
who enjoy a slower pace of life and open spaces along with cultural
history, feel right at home in Havre. A low crime rate, a well
maintained park system, city recreation programs, solid financial and
commercial institutions, an award winning health care system, education
systems that stand on excellence, shopping, dining and warm friendly
people make this agricultural community a great place to live, work and
raise a family.
The four
seasons provide year-round outdoor recreation. Fishing, camping and
boating takes place at Fresno Reservoir a few minutes west of Havre. A
short 20-minute drive south is Beaver Creek Park, in the Bear Paw
Mountains where summer and winter recreation abound. The splendid fall
colors combined with the changing Aspens creates the perfect backdrop
for a relaxing fall picnic.
