Carbon County, Administrative county in south central Montana, US.
Carbon County stretches across 2,062 square miles between the Beartooth Mountains and the Pryor Mountains, with Red Lodge as its county seat.
The county formed in 1895 from sections of Park and Yellowstone counties, receiving its name from the substantial coal deposits discovered in the region.
The Smith Mine near Bearcreek stands as a memorial to the 74 miners who lost their lives in the 1943 explosion, marking the end of coal mining.
Carbon County maintains an online portal for building permits, property tax information, and essential documents like birth certificates for its 10,473 residents.
The first commercial oil well in Montana began operations in the Elk Basin fields of Carbon County during 1915, initiating petroleum production in the state.
