History
Wolf Point began as a trading post in the 1860s at the confluence of Wolf Creek and the Missouri River. Farming began in the area as early as 1874, with the Civil War pioneer Philip "Sandy" Knorr and John Winn being the first people to plant the first harvest in Northeastern Montana. Philip Knorr, John Winn, James 'Montana Jim' Helmer, Hank Cusker, Henry Kirn, Jacob Wirth, and James MacDonald were the first pioneers in Wolf Point. The Great Northern Railway arrived in 1887. Wolf Point incorporated in 1915 and became the county seat in 1919.
