Vida is an unincorporated village and census-designated place (CDP) in northern McCone County, Montana, United States, located on Montana Highway 13 along the Big Sky Back Country Byway,[3] [4] approximately south of Wolf Point, and north of Circle. As of the 2020 census, the population of Vida was 24.[2]
Vida is also the boyhood home of ten time Montana sportscaster of the year Rocky Erickson.[5]
At this location, Vida was known as "Presserville" until 1951,[6] when the post office from a previous incarnation of Vida was moved to that town, and Presserville's citizens agreed to change the town name to conform with the name under which the post office was registered. Over the intervening decades, the population has dwindled significantly. At the 2000 census,[7] the Vida area had a population of approximately 70 people.[8] The post office remains active, however, along with a "one room schoolhouse" serving northern McCone County and covering grades PK through 8, two churches (one Catholic, one Protestant), two grain elevators, a convenience store, and a gas station.
Vida is part of a census-designated place (CDP) which bears the village's name and which was first listed in 2020.
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Vida has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[9]
