On January 3, 1890, the Boston and Montana Company selected "North Great Falls as the site of their Immense Factories, which will furnish constant employment to thousands of workmen whose cash wages will circulate every month in North Great Falls and vicinity".
Many of us who live in Great Falls have had family members work at the "smelter". My great-grandfather, who emigrated from Yugoslavia, worked there shortly after it opened. Other family members worked there as well.
