Richland County, Administrative county in northeastern Montana, United States.
Richland County encompasses 2,103 square miles of territory with Sidney as its governmental center and largest population center in northeastern Montana.
The Montana Legislature established Richland County on May 27, 1914, by separating a portion of land from Dawson County to form a new administrative division.
Agriculture remains central to the county's identity, with numerous farms and ranches maintaining traditional land management practices across the rolling landscapes.
Montana Highways 16, 23, and 200 provide access throughout the county, connecting residents to essential services and neighboring communities in all directions.
The Elm Coulee Oil Field, discovered in 2000, transformed the county's economic landscape by introducing petroleum production alongside traditional agricultural activities.
