Thoeny is a ghost town in the northern part of Valley County, Montana, United States,[1] near the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Thoeny is located north of Hinsdale and west of Opheim near the banks of Rock Creek. The school house still stands. There is also a cemetery located on the hill.
History
[edit]Thoeny was named for its first postmaster, Jacob Thoeny, in 1915. By 1918, the community had two general stores, a newspaper, a blacksmith shop, and several other businesses, all without the benefit of being located near a railroad. A schoolhouse, a cemetery and a few foundations are reminders of the community.[2]
