Nye is a town that dates back to the days when Montana was still a territory. Nye City, an almost forgotten mining town of the 1880's, was once a thriving boom town and one of the liveliest mining camps in Montana.
It came into existence in 1883, but like many mining towns its only destiny was to become the ghost town that it is today.
In 1889, the future looked positive for Nye. Officials of the Minneapolis Mining and Smelting Company cast eyes on what they thought would be a bright mining future in the Beartooth Mountains. Then one November morning in 1889, word was received from the Secretary of the Interior that the town and mining property was located on the Crow Indian Reservation, and the miners were ordered to clear out.
That marked the end of a town that was thought to hold the promise of a second Butte.
Today, Nye's land is as varied and rich, its people as hardy and independent, as any place in the state. Treasures remain hidden deep within the earth, or discovered in the pristine waters of the rivers and creeks.
It has been said that Montana is one small town with a long main street. Nye exemplifies that perfectly. The center of the community is always moving and evolving to fit the times. Ranchers, miners, recreationists, big business and small, and newcomers and old timers coexist in Nye.
