History
US 87 originally ran northwest out of Great Falls towards the eastern border of Glacier National Park to the Canadian Border at the Piegan Border Crossing. This was changed in 1934, when US 89 was diverted to US 87's routing north of Great Falls. US 87 ended in Great Falls until c. 1945 when it was extended to its current northern terminus near Havre.[2]
