Three Forks

Town in southwestern Montana, on the Jefferson River, 48 km/30 mi northwest of Bozeman; population (1990) 1,200. It is named after the place 6 km/4 mi to the northeast where the Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin rivers meet to form the Missouri.

Missouri Fur Company trappers built several trading posts here, beginning in 1810, but were evicted by the Blackfeet American Indians. The settlement was re-established in 1908 by the railway, as a division point. Madison Buffalo Jump State Historic Site, which commemorates the ancient American Indian hunting technique of stampeding bison over a cliff, is nearby to the north.
