Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by
transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers.
This County Site is Available for Adoption!
WANT TO HELP?
We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be successful.
If you are interested in joining our group, view our Volunteer Page for further information
We'll be happy to help your families' obituaries, news items and other historical data find a home here at Montana Genealogy Trails, where
it will remain free for all to view.
WE REGRET THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO DO PERSONAL RESEARCH FOR YOU.
ALL DATA IS ADDED TO THE SITE AS WE COME ACROSS IT, SO KEEP CHECKING BACK!
Fergus County
Fergus County was created by act of the Fourteenth Legislative Assembly, Montana Territory, in the Spring of 1885. The Bill was sponsored by Hon. James Fergus, a delegate to the assembly from Meagher County, then including Central Montana.
The new county covered an area approximately 130 miles from east to west and 90 miles from north to south. It contained 209 townships, over 7,524 square miles and 4,824,000 acres.
The original Fergus County was subsequently divided into what are now entirely, or partly, the counties of Musselshell, Petroleum, Judith Basin, Wheatland, Golden Valley and the present Fergus County.
Fergus County now covers 4,253 square miles and 2,765,685 acres.
It is 70 miles north to south at the longest distance and 90 miles across the longest distance east to west.
The county seat is Lewistown
