Chinook is the seat of Blaine County and is the largest city in the county, with a population
of approximately 1500 residents. Chinook is located in North-Central Montana in the heart
of the Milk River valley. Farming and ranching are the two major industries within the
county.

U.S. Highway 2, a major East-West route, passes directly through Chinook. Tourists and
cross-country cyclists utilize Highway 2 as a popular scenic route on their travels to and
from Glacier National Park.
Chinook is a well kept town with four community parks established for the
convenience and enjoyment of both residents and visitors.  Lifestyles are basically
simple; people are pleasant, friendly, and caring.  Our community reflects a safe
environment where children can freely enjoy growing up in a quickly changing
world.


Because of Chinook's relatively close proximity to Havre, the
town has avoided the fate that other Hi-Line towns have
suffered.  Even though the agricultural businesses around
Chinook have consolidated and led to less people in the
agricultural industry, the town itself has managed to retain both
people and its businesses due to an influx of people who live in
Chinook, but work in Havre.
