Butte, Montana is one of the most historically significant cities in the state. Initial interest in the area s underground silver and gold led to the town s founding in 1872. But copper, which was in high demand due to the advent of electrical wiring and World War II, ultimately led to Butte s early 1900s prosperity. And the vast copper resources mined from Butte led to its popular nickname as the
Richest Hill on Earth.”
The booming copper industry made Butte one of the largest cities in the American West during the early 1900s. The money to be made in Butte’s mining industry attracted a multicultural community hoping to strike it big. And within this world of Copper Kings and Old West storefronts, the streets of Butte hummed with the height of early 1900s culture.

“I think Butte is going to be the place to be and a very, very special place, and it is already in my mind a special community, and we are set for some amazing, amazing things,” said Karen Byrnes in a conversation about all the recent purchases of quite a few of Butte’s historic buildings.
Karen Byrnes is the Community Development Director for Butte-Silver Bow. She was born and raised here and has an intrinsic passion for this beautifully unique city. She attended local schools and graduated from Butte High in 1990. Her college career took her to Montana State University for one quarter but then headed right back to Butte. “I got my degree from Montana Technological University in business,” said Karen. She later went back to school and in 2000 earned her master’s degree in business administration.
