Moving Companies and moving services Montana, MT

     When you say you're moving to Montana, your friends might nod their heads and say "big sky country." Montana is big sky country, but that's only because everything in Montana is immense, and more often than not, untamed. Or course, Montana probably isn't the best place to move to if you like your cities big: Billings, Montana's largest city, is home to just 89,847 residents.

     But everything else is breathtakingly unbounded. The eastern two-thirds of the state is covered by nearly endless high prairie grassland. In the Western part of Montana, where Rocky mountaintops scrape the heavens, you can still see buffalo in the wild at the National Bison Range in Moiese. But then again, you might want to skip it. Seeing wildlife in Montana isn't that extraordinary. Scientists have calculated that an average acre of Montana land is home to an elk, a pronghorn antelope and three deer. 8,000 moose are at large in the state, and make sure to keep your deep freezer locked at night: Montana has the largest population of grizzly bears in the lower 48.

     If you're more comfortable hiking through a national park than walking down a crowded sidewalk, there's no better place for you than Montana.

     Now that you're moving to Montana, there are a few facts you'll want to keep in mind:

• Montana's population is 902,194. The state capital is Helena.
• Mining used to be Montana's bread and butter. From the mid-19th century onwards gold, silver and copper drew prospectors and built global companies. In 1888 Helena had more millionaires per capita than any place else in the world. Today, however, Montana's economy is based on services and tourism is one of the top growing industries.
• 46 out of the 56 counties in Montana have fewer than seven residents per square mile.
• For a short period during the '90s, Montana abolished speed limits on its roads. However, these days the top state speed is 75 mph.
• Fishing, especially fly fishing, is a passion among Montanans. However, state law prohibits married women from fishing alone on Sundays, and bars unmarried women from fishing altogether.
