This district contains the most resources of any U.S. National Historic Landmark District, with the exception of New Orleans. The city of Butte is a National Register of Historic Places. The historical significance of the Butte and\/or the Anaconda area cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Butte and Anaconda have a long history of Chinese settlement. Both cities were founded in the 1880s and had a vibrant Chinatown. In 1883, the town was formed to provide labor for a copper smelting plant nearby. The first Chinatown businesses were on Birch Street between Front Street and East Park Avenue. The Sing Lee Laundry and the Tri Yeun Company were among the first to operate in Anaconda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1905, the Butte Mining Company opened a railroad and started hauling copper ore to Butte. Between 1893 and 1897, BAP used 33 steam locomotives. During the early years of its operations, the BAP was the first heavy-haul railroad in the world to convert from steam to electricity. Today, the historic district is a popular tourist destination. Visiting this town will provide you with plenty of memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Butte, Anaconda, and Pacific Railway is a shortline railroad in Southwest Montana that has a rich history. The town of Butte grew up around the copper smelting plant, and the railroad provided the community with a steady stream of business. The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway is part of the Butte, Anaconda, Silver Bow, and Lewistown areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The historical town of Butte and Anaconda is a mile-high valley in the Deer Lodge National Forest that offers unmatched recreational opportunities. The town was founded in 1875 when the giant Anaconda Copper Mining Company of Butte needed a smelter to process copper ore. Although the smelting operations ceased in the early 1980s, the &#8220;Stack&#8221; is still an important landmark and a state park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butte and Anaconda have an interesting history. The town was a major center of copper mining in the late 1800s. The town&#8217;s economy thrived during this time, and the copper mines and smelting plant in Anaconda were an important part of this industry. The railroad helped create jobs and a large local economy. Butte and Anaconda&#8217;s heritage is still evident today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway was a common-carrier system owned by the copper company. Its main line from Butte to Anaconda was 25.7 miles long. The line also paralleled the main lines of the Northern Pacific Railway and the Milwaukee Road. The Butte and Anaconda railway was closed in 1951, but still in use, thanks to the city&#8217;s economic prosperity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Butte and Anaconda Historic District consists of four distinct communities: Butte, Anaconda, Walkerville, and Libby.
