Located in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley, along U.S. 93 and the Bitterroot River, Hamilton is the county seat of Ravalli County. Founded by copper king Marcus Daly in the late 19th century, Hamilton is the central trade area for Bitterroot Valley’s hundreds of small farms, ranches, and orchards. Live music, local theater, and downtown offerings define Hamilton as the valley’s emerging artistic hub as well.

Home to a bustling community with a strong sense of pride, Hamilton hosts numerous community events such as the Ravalli County Fair, Bitterroot Microbrew Festival, and Daly Days. Options for outdoor recreation abound in Hamilton’s surrounding mountains and woods while tasty eateries, brewing companies, and cafes serve as cozy gathering places in Downtown Hamilton.
