Dillon, County seat in Beaverhead Valley, Montana, US.
Located at 1560 meters elevation, Dillon sits at the intersection of three rivers: the Beaverhead, Big Hole, and Ruby, offering extensive fishing opportunities.
The Utah and Northern Railroad reached Dillon in 1881, transforming it from a settlement called Terminus into a distribution center for Montana's gold fields.
The University of Montana Western, established in 1892 as Montana Normal College, continues to shape the educational landscape of southwestern Montana.
The city provides services through its YMCA, medical facilities, and regular bus transportation, with scheduled closures during national holidays.
Crystal Park near Dillon allows visitors to search for quartz specimens while Bannack State Park preserves structures from Montana's first gold discovery.
