Columbus is located at the confluence of the picturesque and historic Stillwater and Yellowstone Rivers. A community of 3,000, it offers the benefits of small town living just 45 minutes west of Billings, Montana’s largest city. Primary industries include trades serving agriculture, primarily cattle and grain production, and Montana Silversmiths, a manufacturer of western style silver jewelry sold widely in the U.S. and exported internationally. Residential construction is currently on the increase due to demand for homes to serve a variety of commuters ranging from office workers in Billings to miners extracting ore from the only platinum/palladium mine in the western hemisphere, located 45 miles to the south. An abundance of recreation is literally only minutes away.
