The capital of Montana, the state where Glacier National Park is located, is Helena.
- Helena became the capital of Montana after the Montana Territory was formed in 1864. It wasn't until 1889 that Montana was admitted as the 41st state of the United States. Montana is known for its diverse terrain ranging from the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains.
- Glacier National Park, found in Montana, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, lakes, and the remnants of ancient glaciers.
- Capital cities are often chosen for their central location within a state, their accessibility, and sometimes their size or political importance at the time they are chosen. Helena was a booming mining town during the Montana gold rush, which played a significant role in its selection as the state capital.
