Superior Montana Real Estate, Area Information & Relocation
Superior, MT is located in the center of Mineral County Montana, along the beautiful Clark Fork River.
Superior is the county seat about ten miles form the Idaho border as the crow flies and forty-eight miles by mountain road. Someone gave the name to a settlement at the mouth of Cedar Creek in 1869, after his hometown of Superior, Wisconsin; and when that little village disbanded, the post office located a mile east took the name. The Northern Pacific station at this location was first called Iron Mountain, and a mill was built there to refine the ore taken from the nearby mountain by that name. The Clark Fork River bisects the town. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
In the 1860s and ‘70s, several thousand miners converged on Cedar Creek to earn their fortunes. Long after that strike played out, mining remained a mainstay of the economy. Mining, along with the development of logging and Forest Service activities contribute to the area’s interesting history.
Superior, MT offers a break from interstate travel and an introduction to area history in the Mineral County Museum which displays information on local history and industry.
The nearby St. Regis-Paradise National Forest Scenic Byway is also a great break from the interstate. It lies within the Lolo National Forest. This scenic route, with the motto: The River, The People, The Land, takes motorists through varying terrain, from spacious, rolling flats to steep canyon walls where it winds through the Coeur d’Alene Mountains. The byway has long been considered an alternate route for travelers, on Interstate 90, whose destination is Flathead Lake or Glacier National Park. It also serves as a route to the National Bison Range. However, with the spectacular scenery, plentiful wildlife, and many recreational opportunities the Byway is a destination unto itself.
