Mill Iron is a small, quiet place in Montana, United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it is a group of homes and buildings that is not officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it is part of a larger county.
About Mill Iron
Mill Iron is located in Carter County, which is in the southeastern part of Montana. It is about 16.2 miles (or 26 kilometers) east of a town called Ekalaka. The area is mostly rural, meaning it has open spaces and farms rather than big city buildings.
A Bit of History
For many years, Mill Iron had its own post office. This was a central place for people to send and receive mail. It was an important part of daily life for the community. However, the post office closed its doors on January 1, 1994. Even without a post office, Mill Iron remains a recognized community in Carter County.
