The first buildings were on the banks of the Tobacco River. The town began building up the hill. A large sawmill, which supported the economy of the town, burned down in 1923.(from Cheney's Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)Eureka was known as the Tobacco Plains and was originally home to the <a href="/Places_To_Go/indian_nations/selish-Ktunaxa-flathead/">Kootenai Indians</a>. The northern section of US Highway 93 was originally an Indian trail and was later used by fur traders and pack trains for travel between <a href="/categories/City.asp?CityID=227">Missoula</a> and Vancouver, B.C. David Thompson was the first white man to see the area in 1808. Homesteaders began to come in the 1880s.
