==Settlements== Several small [[Unincorporated area|unincorporated communities]], one [[incorporated town]], and one [[Municipal corporation|incorporated city]] are located within the county. [[Cut Bank, Montana|'''Cut Bank''']], the [[county seat]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Find a County |url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110531210815/http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx |archive-date=May 31, 2011 |access-date=June 7, 2011 |publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> with a population of around 3,000, is located in eastern Glacier County, on the edge of the [[Great Plains]]. Cut Bank arose from the railway<ref>[https://www.cutbankchamber.com/history ''History of Cut Bank'' Cut Bank Chamber of Commerce (accessed January 2, 2019)]</ref> and agricultural needs of the surrounding area, and was fostered by an [[oil boom]] in the [[1920s]].<ref>[https://www.visitmt.com/listings/general/museum/glacier-county-historical-museum.html ''Glacier County Historical Museum'' (accessed January 2, 2019)]</ref> The town's diverse population is a result of this settlement. Town resources and services include a hospital and clinic, an historic airport (with regional and international connections), a nine-hole [[golf course]], and a municipal swimming pool. Nearby historical sites from the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition|Lewis and Clark expedition]], among other historic and prehistoric locations, can be visited. The Glacier County Museum has a collection of archaeological artifacts, historic buildings, community memorabilia, and a comprehensive archive of early area history and individuals, including a large collection of data on Blackfeet history. [[Browning, Montana|'''Browning''']] is the home and government seat of the '''Blackfeet''' Tribe.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome to Blackfeet Country ~Browning Montana~ Glacier Park |url=http://www.blackfeetcountry.com/blackfeetnation.html |access-date=April 2, 2018 |website=www.blackfeetcountry.com}}</ref> The incorporated portion of Browning, at 1,400 residents, does not reflect the total population of around 7,000 in the wider community, largely representative of the Blackfeet Tribe on a part of their ancestral homeland, which dates back over 400 years. Town businesses and resources include a federal building, [[community college]], Native American Museum and Heritage Center, [[casino]], fairgrounds, [[Race track|racetrack]], and Native American camp area that hosts an annual Native American celebration and '''[[powwow]]'''. Many events are held in this area during the summer months. Blackfeet tribal fishing, hunting and recreational permits, along with guide and tour services to blue-ribbon trout fishing (and other recreational opportunities), can be found there. [[Babb, Montana|'''Babb''']] is a small, unincorporated farming and ranching community on the '''[[Blackfeet Indian Reservation]]'''. The community experiences a large influx of tourists in the summer months, as it is the gateway to the '''[[Many Glacier]]''' area of [[Glacier National Park (U.S.)|'''Glacier National Park''']]. Community infrastructure includes one school, a [[United States Postal Service|US post office]], a [[fire station]], and a [[general store]] as well as a [[motel]], [[Filling station|gas station]], several restaurants, and two churches. Nearby attractions include the aforementioned Glacier National Park, the historic '''[[Many Glacier Hotel]]''', the [[St. Mary River (Alberta–Montana)|St. Mary River]] and Irrigation Canal, and '''[[Chief Mountain]]''', as well as the [[Piegan–Carway Border Crossing|Piegan]] and [[Chief Mountain Border Crossing|Chief Mountain border crossings]] with Alberta, Canada. [[East Glacier Park Village, Montana|'''East Glacier Park Village''']], a small winter community, grows in the summertime with many visitors and the summer workforce, hailing from all parts of the globe to meet the needs of the larger population. It is the site of the largest of Glacier Park's historic hotels and its fleet of "red buses". It has a nine-hole golf course, campgrounds, trail rides, boat rides, and native interpretive tours. [[St. Mary, Montana|'''St. Mary''']] is an unincorporated community on the western border of the Blackfeet Native American Reservation, located adjacent to Glacier National Park. The village is the eastern terminus of the [[Going-to-the-Sun Road]] which bisects the park east-to-west at a length of {{convert|53|mi|km}}. Fewer than 50 people reside in the village year-round; however, the population increases tenfold on a busy summer evening. It has several lodges, restaurants and cafés, a small grocery store, two gas stations and campgrounds. A large housing area for [[National Park Service]] personnel is located adjacent to the village, within the park. [[U.S. Route 89]] passes through the village, which lies between [[Saint Mary Lake]] in Glacier National Park and Lower St. Mary Lake on the Blackfeet Native American Reservation. [[Starr School, Montana|Starr School]] is a [[Census-designated place|census-designated place (CDP)]] in Glacier County. The population was 252 at the 2010 census.
