Great Falls is the third largest city in Montana. This city is located in Cascade County, of which it is the county seat, in the central-western part of Montana. Great Falls covers an area of a little over 22 square miles and is home to around 58,000 people, with over 82,000 in the metro area.

Founded back in the 1800s, the area that would eventually become Great Falls was inhabited by Paleo-Indians thousands of years ago and was actually visited by Merlwether Lewis as part of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 19th century. The city is named due to the fact that several waterfalls on the Missouri River basin can be found nearby. Great Falls is home to various museums, education institutions, and plenty of parks and natural spaces. Map
