Wibaux County

Wibaux County is an administrative county in eastern Montana covering about 890 square miles of terrain. Beaver Creek flows through the area and the Lamesteer National Wildlife Refuge is located within its boundaries.

The county was established by the Montana Legislature in 1914 from portions of Dawson, Fallon, and Richland Counties. This reorganization created a new administrative region focused on agricultural development.

German, Polish, and Irish heritage shapes the local identity and community life here. Annual celebrations in the county seat of Wibaux showcase these cultural traditions and their importance to residents.

Interstate 94 and Montana Highway 7 serve as the primary access routes through the area. Visitors should plan for longer travel times since services and population centers are spread across the landscape.

This is one of the least populated counties in Montana with fewer than 1,000 residents spread across the landscape. Despite its small population, agriculture remains the backbone of the local economy and way of life.
