Milltown is an unincorporated community in Missoula County, Montana, United States. Milltown is located along Interstate 90 and Montana Highway 200, east of downtown Missoula, on a hill overlooking the point where the Clark Fork and Big Blackfoot rivers meet. The community has a post office, with ZIP code 59851.[1] [2]
Originally named Riverside, Milltown began with the nearby mill in 1886.[3] Unlike neighboring Bonner, which was the company town with company store and housing for mill managers and supervisors, Milltown formed organically a half mile up the river for mill workers and other support businesses.[4]
