Located near the Canadian border and the Glacier National Park lies Shelby, Montana. Once a cattle town, Shelby’s now home to the oil and agriculture industries. Though this quaint little town has been referred to as lonely, sleepy, and in the middle of nowhere, Shelby is actually a bustling place to explore.Â
Shelby got its name from Peter P. Shelby, a general manager of the Montana Central Railroad. It’s located on the transcontinental east-west main line of the Great Northern Santa Fe Railroad that connects Minneapolis to Seattle.Â
Golfers appreciate this mighty little Montana town for its 18-hole championship golf course.
