Anaconda, County seat and former mining city in southwestern Montana, United States.
Located at an elevation of 1,626 meters, Anaconda features wide streets, historic buildings, and the 178-meter-tall former copper smelter smokestack.
Marcus Daly established Anaconda in 1883 to process copper ore from Butte mines, initially naming the settlement Copperopolis before changing it to Anaconda.
The Washoe Theater, constructed in 1936, maintains its original Nuevo Deco architectural design and continues screening films and hosting performances.
Visitors access Anaconda through Montana Highway 1 and Interstate 90, with accommodations near the Old Works Golf Course and Discovery Ski Area.
The Old Works Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, transformed former industrial land into an 18-hole course incorporating black slag bunkers from mining operations.
