June 27 – On this date in Montana
history in 1925 the first significant earthquake in the state’s recorded history
occurred. It was centered near Three Forks and had a magnitude 6 on the Richter

stranded trains, caused major property damage including destroying the
courthouse in White Sulphur Springs, but resulted in only a few minor injuries
to citizens.
