Arlee is a town situated in southern Lake County, Montana. It was established in 1885, with a current population of 641 people.
Arlee is perched in the shadow of the Mission Mountains and serves as a trading center for the Jocko Valley and Flathead Indian Reservation residents. It has numerous shops, bars, galleries, and exciting town highlights.
The town is named after “Alee,” the Salish leader. Alee and his people lived in the Bitterroot Valley. In 1855, the Hellgate Treaty designated the Bitterroot Valley a conditional reservation.
Alee moved a small group of his people to the Jocko Valley and later to Flathead Indian Reservation. The forced move resulted from negotiations to remove Salish from the Bitterroot Valley.
The Flathead Indian Reservation sits a few miles south of Arlee town. Montana Highway 200 and US Route 93 pass through the town. Also, the Jocko River passes through the town’s northeast side, flowing to the Flathead River.
