The fIrst settler in what is now Havrewas John Bell, a sergeant from Fort Assinniboine. His firsthome was a simple log cabin. With the coming of the railroadcame more settlers and they became merchants, businesspeople, farmers., ranchers, and entrepreneurs. As their fmancesincreased, so did the need for permanent homes and many formsof popular architecture were constructed and still proudly existtoday. The Havre Residential Historic District features homesof workers right alongside the homes of the business owners.
