The town was named for E. L. Bonner, an early settler in Missoula and first president of the Missoula and Bitterroot Valley Railroad (1888). Bonner's Ferry, Idaho was also named for this Montana lumber magnate. (from Cheney's <I>Names on the Face of Montana</I>, Mountain Press Publishing Company) Bonner is on the Blackfoot River in beautiful western Montana.</p><map name="nearbycities"><area shape="rect" alt="Plains, Montana" coords="32,4,78,14" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=256"><area shape="rect" alt="Ronan, Montana" coords="138,4,190,29" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=283"><area shape="rect" alt="Seeley Lake, Montana" coords="205,60,250,87" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=302"><area shape="rect" alt="Greenough, Montana" coords="224,101,248,122" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=148"><area shape="rect" alt="Clinton, Montana" coords="180,136,222,152" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=64"><area shape="rect" alt="Bonner, Montana" coords="164,115,197,134" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=33"><area shape="rect" alt="Stevensville, Montana" coords="124,170,203,185" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=316"><area shape="rect" alt="Hamilton, Montana" coords="109,232,184,247" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=151"><area shape="rect" alt="Corvallis, Montana" coords="122,217,171,230" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=76"><area shape="rect" alt="Florence, Montana" coords="89,157,138,169" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=115"><area shape="rect" alt="Lolo, Montana" coords="128,146,163,156" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=205"><area shape="rect" alt="Missoula, Montana" coords="28,116,156,144" href="/categories/city.asp?CityID=227"><area shape="rect" alt="Arlee, Montana" co262410BONNERGLACIER14931Two Rib Cabin119044Cullys121008Kettlehouse Amphitheater122368The Hohnstead Glamping Cabins1MT59823
