Helena is one of the few gold towns of the Old West to become a thriving urban center. It is close to several wilderness areas and sits on the edge of the Continental Divide in the middle of some of the U.S.’s most beautiful landscape and trail systems. Helena’s population within the city limits is approximately 32,000, but greater Helena area population is 69,000 people. State and the federal government are major source of jobs, but it does also have an extensive medical community including two hospitals, Carroll College (a four-year liberal arts college), the University of Montana College of Technology, and many major retailers.
