Missoula is home to the University of Montana which was founded in 1893.

Missoula is one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People, in part, because of its “Flagship” program, which brings community resources and activities on site to the schools to provide safe and healthy activities for youth during non-school hours. Supported by local government, area businesses and the schools, 4000 students regularly participate in its activities. The 100 Best Communities for Young People competition honors outstanding efforts on behalf of young people by multiple sectors of communities. In cities, suburbs, small towns and counties across the country, this annual competition is leading communities to assess their efforts, work more effectively together for young people, and share best practices.

Missoula is also home to western Montana’s largest indoor shopping mall, national discount and department stores and dozens of interesting and unique downtown stores and boutiques. The downtown is Missoula’s newest and fastest growing shopping district and a great showcase of Missoula.

Our town offers a wide range of medical services as the major medical hub between Minneapolis and Seattle, Missoula has over 5,200 people working in the health services industry who are committed to keeping Missoulians in top physical shape.
