Chester is a town in and the county seat of Liberty County, Montana, United States. The population was 847 at the time of both the 2010 and 2020 U.S. Census. The Blackfoot, Piegan Blackfeet, and Blood Tribe migrated to the area via the Old North Trail in the early 18th century. The Lewis and Clark Expedition came through the area as it trekked around Lake Elwell and the Marius River in July 1806. Meriwether Lewis accounted in his journal that "there were not less than 10 thousand buffalo within a circle of 2 miles around that place". The Earl of Southesk concurred during his 1859 expedition to the area when he said that as "ar as the eye could reach, these plains were covered with troops of buffalo; thousands and thousands were constantly in sight."
