Montana is a locality and small rural community in the local government area of Meander Valley in the North West region of Tasmania. It is located about south-east of the town of Devonport. The 2016 census determined a population of 56 for the state suburb of Montana.[1]
The locality was originally called Cheshunt Park. The name was changed to Montana in 1912.[2]
The Meander River forms the eastern boundary of the locality.
The C166 route (Long Ridge Road) enters the locality from the south-east and exits to the north-east. The C164 route (Montana Road) starts at an intersection with route C166 in the south-east and runs north through the locality and village before exiting.[3]
