History
Ravalli County was once home to the Bitterroot Salish (tribe)
Indian Tribe. The tribe was first encountered in 1805 by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which noted the friendly nature of the tribe. The Roman Catholic Church took interest in creating a mission in the area, and in 1841 , Stevensville Montana was founded. In 1891 the Salish tribe was relocated to the current Flathead reservation
under the Treaty of Hellgate
In 1877, Chief Joseph and his tribe of Nez Perce passed through Ravalli county on their
way to Canada in order to escape confinement to a reservation.
