Welcome to Richland County, Montana – Your Gateway to the Bakken, nestled in the bounty of the Yellowstone Valley!

Located on the edge of the Bakken oil formation, Richland County is a treasure trove of opportunity and natural beauty.

However, our county’s economic diversity extends beyond oil. Richland County is proud to be cradled by the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project, a testament to our commitment to sustainable agriculture. This monumental project provides irrigation to over 58,000 acres of fertile farmland, transforming our valley into a lush oasis of crops that are the envy of the region. From golden wheat fields to verdant pastures, agriculture thrives here, thanks to the careful management of our precious water resources.

​But Richland County is not just about drilling rigs, fields of green and gold, and the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project; it’s a vibrant community filled with warm-hearted people who call this place home. We invite you to explore our website to discover the numerous services, resources, and opportunities that make Richland County a fantastic place to live, work, and play.

The Richland County Courthouse is the hub for the County.
