“This is not only an important day for Troy, but historically an important day for the entire nation. With it being September 11, I want to let you know of some of the events planned to honor, not only our emergency services, but all the first responders. At 6 p.m., the Troy Volunteer Fire Department will be recognizing those that we lost 14 years ago today. At half time of the football game the Troy School District will be honoring our local first responders. I hope all will take the time to attend the ceremonies.
It was 100 years ago that Troy became a town. Troy has been around longer than 100 years, but our community was incorporated in 1915. That is the year the State of Montana recognized us as a town. In 1915, we elected our first mayor and our first city council. The hard working people of Troy have worked in railroad, mining, lumber and tourism. Our community’s forefathers were strong, hard working people. The citizens of Troy have always strived to support, improve and work together to make our town the best place for all to live. I want to guarantee you that myself and the city council are doing all in our power to make sure our community continues to succeed.”
–Darren Coldwell,
Mayor of Troy
