gone through several owners in the past hundred years and now
serves as a private home with guest cabins—and as the site of the
Dutton Ranch in Taylor Sheridan's television drama Yellowstone.
The newest town in the county is Pinesdale. Founded in 1960
and incorporated in 1980, Pinesdale is home to a polygamous
Mormon sect known as the AUB. Located in the foothills of the
Bitterroot Range west of US Highway 93's Woodside Crossing,
the town site was chosen for its remoteness and privacy.
Six more communities, all unincorporated "census designated
places," are found in the Bitterroot Valley. Florence lies just
south of the Missoula County line. The Florence School District
includes students in Missoula County as well as Ravalli County.
Sixteen miles south of Florence by US Highway 93 lies Victor,
named for Salish Chief Victor, who as a youth met Lewis and
Clark at Ross's Hole. Today's Victor is home to Hamilton House,
an authentic Scottish pub serving the best fish and chips I have
ever had. And if you are an afficionado of Scotch whiskey, the
bar has one of the widest selections this side of Scotland.
