A view from 1939:

RIMINI, (5,192 alt., 85 pop.), is the trade center of a district that has produced gold, silver, and lead to the value of $3,000,000. A few mines are still worked by lessees.

Shortly after the discovery of its silverlead lodes in the early 1880's, the citizens saw the drama of Paolo and Francesca da Rimini performed by a road company; they recorded their approval in the new camp's name. Montanans pronounce it "Rim'-in-eye."
