Great Falls, County seat in Montana, United States
Located at an elevation of 1015 meters, Great Falls spreads across 22.9 square miles along the Missouri River in central Montana.
Paris Gibson established Great Falls in 1883, recognizing the potential for hydroelectric power from five waterfalls along the Missouri River.
