Major industry is coal mining and 4 steam generating power plants. Founded in 1923 by Northern Pacific Railroad to supply coal for steam locomotives. The Foley Brothers Co. ran the coal mine for 30+ years. The mine shut down in the late 1950's and the town had approximately 100 residents throughout the 1960s. In 1968 the mine was reopened by Western Energy Company, a subsidiary of Montana Power Company. In the 1970s and 80s, 4 steam generating plants were built. At one point during construction 8,000 people lived in Colstrip. Today, the population is stable at approximately 3,000.
