The Perfect Assh
Libby Montana is located in Northwestern Montana where the Cabinet Mountains meet the Kootenai River. Surrounded by the Kootenai National Forest. Libby is 72 miles south of the Canadian border, and 35 miles east of the Idaho border. The Kootenai Indians roamed the Kootenai River valley area for hundreds of years before the first white explorers and trappers visited the area. White trappers and miners came to the area in the late 1800s seeking fur and gold in area streams. The original townsite of Libby was located several miles upstream from the confluence of Libby Creek and the Kootenai River, but was relocated to its present location in 1892 when the railroad built tracks along the Kootenai River joining Idaho with eastern Montana. Libby was named after the daughter of an early settler. Libby became the county seat for Lincoln County in 1909, the county being named after President Abraham Lincoln.
