A view from 1939:

CHOTEAU, (3,800 alt., 997 pop.), seat of Teton County, was named for Pierre Chouteau, Jr., a member of a family of fur traders associated with Astor's American Fur Company. Montana also has a county named for Chouteau; to avoid confusion the town name is spelled without the first "u." Choteau was once headquarters for big cattle spreads (ranches) whose herds ranged over large areas of north-central Montana. There are still several large ranches near.
