Historical Note Missoula County encompassed present-day Missoula and Deer Lodge Counties, as well as a good portion of land north and south of present day Missoula County. Originally part of Washington Territory, in 1863 Missoula County reverted to Idaho territory. Missoula County then shifted its boundaries to look more like its present day boundaries dividing the Bitterroot Mountains from the Rocky Mountains. On December 14, 1866, Missoula Mills became the county seat of Missoula County; the "Mills" portion was later dropped. The first commissioners of this county, elected in 1865, were C. C. O'Keefe, H. W. Miller, Fred Loveland, and John Chatfield. They sat on the county seat until the next elections in 1867, where only O'Keefe was re-elected. Content Description 1
