Wibaux
6.0
High score (8-10)
Wibaux was founded by Pierre Wibaux, a French cattle baron who built one of the largest cattle operations in the northern Great Plains in the 1880s, and the Pierre Wibaux Museum tells that specific story of European money coming to Montana to bet on the cattle industry.
Mid score (6-8)
Wibaux (pop. ~600) is the county seat of the county that shares its name (total population ~1,000), sitting right on the North Dakota border near Glendive. The county is on I-94 with direct access to the Bakken oil country across the border. The community is small and agricultural with some residual oil-sector influence from the North Dakota side. There's no social scene but the I-94 position means the community is more connected to the world than its size suggests.

Wibaux County is tiny — 1,000 people in 890 square miles — and the county seat of 600 people is the entire story. There is nothing here for an outsider. The county's claim to distinctness is a French cattle baron from the 1880s, which is interesting history and not a current social offering. Glendive is 35 miles west and that's where any real need gets addressed. Wibaux is a dot on the map and that's an accurate description.
