Tampico Montana Post Office

Pen and Ink - 2004

Established as a water stop on the Great Northern Railway’s - BNSF railroad today, main line in the late 1890s. Tampico grew with the arrival of hundreds of homesteaders to the area beginning in 1910. At its height in about 1917, the town of Tampico had a population of over 50 people and a small business district. By the early Twenties, the town was located on the Theodore Roosevelt International Highway, a route that was eventually re-named U.S. Highway 2 - later relocated north two miles. The old post-office building is one of the last, most visible remnants of the community.’
