History of Townsend
Broadwater County was named for Colonel Charles Broadwater & made an official county on March 1, 1897, by the Montana Legislature. Lewis & Clark passed through Townsend on the voyage of discovery in 1805 although the first settlers did not arrive until the late 1860s. Townsend was named by railroad officials, in honor of the wife of Charles Barstow Wright, president of the Northern Pacific (1875-1879). During this time land, lots sold for just $5 apiece! At this time there was also a $10,000 Hotel that was built.

State Bank of Townsend
State Bank of Townsend was completed in 1918 and is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Though there were hard financial times ahead, the State Bank of Townsend managed to survive when many small-town banks did not. This bank still stands today with many of its original features. For almost a century, the State Bank of Townsend has been owned and operated in principle by members of the same family that chartered it, thus setting a record unmatched by any other bank in Montana.
Town Talk Café – 205 Broadway
The Town Talk Cafe opened around 1938 at 205 Broadway. It is pictured above in 1946 or '47. The figure of a parrot tops the sign.
The original two-story building that occupied the site housed the Patriarchal Circle Hall on the top floor, and businesses below (The Patriarchal Circle was an offshoot of the Odd Fellows). In February of 1936, a fire destroyed the P. C. Hall and adjacent buildings, including the Home Cafe, which was on the ground floor of the Hall. The 1977 book "Broadwater Bygones, A History of Broadwater County" describes it this way (thanks to Charleen Spalding for the excerpt):
The River Inn Nite Club and Motel
The River Inn was built in 1941 by Lester Goodwin (1897-1986). He later built six motel cottages adjacent to the Inn. Situated near the bank of the Missouri River, the building suffered repeated damage from ice-jams after the construction of the current Canyon Ferry Dam. In 1965, the property was purchased by the Bureau of Reclamation, and the buildings were sold to be moved, The Inn was purchased by one Gary Smith for $1,111, and is now at Lakeside.
