Fallon County, MontanaFallon County History, Geography, Demographics, Cities and Towns, and Education
Etymology - Origin of County NameBenjamin O'Fallon, a Federal Native American agent Demographics:County QuickFacts: Census Bureau Quick Facts County HistoryAll of SoutheasterFallon County was created 9 December 1913 from Custer County. County seat: Baker n Montana was Custer County in those early days. In 1913, effort was being made to have the large counties broken into smaller units. The fight was hot and heavy with rallies in every precinct featuring free dances where liquor flowed freely. Each proposed county attempted to get the largest possible area. Wibaux to the north was the roughest competitor in that respect, but Ekalaka was Baker's rival for the county seat of this southeast section. Ekalaka won, but the following year, on re-election, Baker became the seat of Fallon County. In 1917, Ekalaka pulled away and formed its own county of Carter.

The history of our nation was a prolonged struggle to define
the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local.
And the names given the counties, our most locally based jurisdictions,
reflects the "characteristic features of this country!"
But age, size and colorful names of our counties isn't the only reason to explore counties' role in American history, or the history of county government itself. In fact, the story of county government reflects the larger meanings of American history. Today's counties are the most flexible, locally responsive and creative governments in the US. They are the most diverse, varying in size, population, geography, and governmental structure. In their politics and policies, they express a 1990's political slogan "Think globally, act locally." |
