Why a Small Town Stole Montana’s Beauty Title

Montana is full of beautiful cities. Some of them have some spectacular views of mountains, lakes, and in some cases rivers that run right through town.  

Beauty is subjective. After all.  

To make the statement that one Montana city is considered ‘the most beautiful’ is bold. A statement like that will most likely cause divided opinions. 

There is a publication that has had the courage to make that statement, so now we can let the arguing begin.  

According to TheTravel.com they have proclaimed Livingston as Montana’s Most Beautiful City.  

Why Livingston Was Chosen

They give plenty of reasons for defending their decision.  

The fact that it isn’t one of Montana’s bigger cities helps the cause. With a population of less than 10,000 people, there are a lot of people who find that attractive.

There is one thing that they didn’t mention. Livingston was highlighted in a Jimmy Buffett song in 1978. He knew how special the town was decades ago.
