Helena is the capital of the State of Montana. As of the 2000 census, its population was 25,780, but with the surrounding area the population reaches 67,636 [1]. It is the county seat of Lewis and Clark County. The local daily newspaper is the Independent Record, and there is a free weekly newspaper, the Queen City News (reflecting the city's nickname). The Helena Brewers minor league baseball team call the city home.

1. The city is part of a consolidated city-county government and is coextensive with Silver Bow County.

The city was founded after the discovery of gold (1864) in Last Chance Gulch (now Helena's main street) and grew rapidly. In 1875 a general election ratified the choice of Helena to replace Virginia City as territorial capital. In the 1890s it maintained its position as state capital against the rivalry of Anaconda. As the area's stores of gold and silver were depleted, other minerals, including copper, lead, and zinc were discovered and exploited.
