| HISTORY of HELENA |
|
|
At this site on the southern tip of Crowley's Ridge. Indians of the Hopewell Culture lived about 500 BC. Evidence of their settlements still remain in mounds nearby. In 1541 when Hernando De Soto crossed the river near here he found the Casqui and Pacahe Indians and held the first Christian service west of the Mississippi River. In 1673 Marquette and Joliet visited here during their exploration. The city was laid out in 1870 and incorporated in 1856. On July 4, 1863, the Battle of Helena Union forces repulsed a Confederate attempt to to take the city. Seven Confederate generals came from Phillips County. |
