If you have always dreamed of living in a small town where everyone knows everyone or when a cow gets out you know exactly who it belongs to, then this Montana county is perfect for you.

I grew up in a small town of around 1800 people, where the one school we attended was kindergarten through 12th grade, all in one building and had a total of a little over 500 kids. It was nice, really. Everyone got along for the most part, the community was united, there wasn't a lot of politics, and if you did something you were not supposed to, everyone knew who's kid you were.

You may be better off purchasing some land and building a home, just keep in mind, it's a small community, so they will most likely want it to stay that way, and I don't blame them.
