A view from 1939:

BOULDER, (5,158 alt, 760 pop.), seat of Jefferson County, was named for the massive stones strewn about the valley. It was established in the early 1860's as a stage station on the Fort Benton-Virginia City route, and later became the trade center of a mining and agricultural area. The Montana School for the Feeble-Minded (open on application to superintendent), at the southern limits, cares for about 400 persons. Those capable of learning are trained in useful occupations; the older boys do farm work and care for the dairy herd; the girls are taught sewing, weaving, and housekeeping.
