Missoula is an adaptation of the American Indian name for the place, which was "Nemissoolatakoo", which translated "river of ambush". There were no permanent white settlenents in the Missoula Valley until about 1860, when a sawmill and flourmill opened there, which became known as "Missoula Mills", around which the settlement sprung. Today, Missoula is the seat of Missoula County, Montana.
