A Town Shaped by History
St. Regis has a rich history, named after Father St. Regis DeBorgia. Like many Western boomtowns, the town grew rapidly in the late 1800s with the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad and the Big Blackfoot lumber mill. These developments turned St. Regis into a busy crossroads for miners and settlers.
Although the town faced challenges, including the 1910 fire and the mill’s closure in 1914, St. Regis’ resilient spirit endured. By the early 1900s, the town thrived with a post office and local businesses, even during the hardships of Prohibition and World War II.
Today, St. Regis remains a gateway to Montana’s outdoor beauty, from fly fishing in the Clark Fork River to hiking the Route of the Hiawatha. While the town has evolved, its heart remains rooted in its rich history and community spirit.
A Community Cornerstone Since 1928
St. Regis Grocery & Liquor has been a part of the town’s history since 1928, when the Kreklau brothers—Ernie, Jule, and Otto—built the original store by hand. Their hard work and dedication made the store a central gathering place for locals. Joined by their brother Bob and his son Bill in the 1940s, the family business expanded and thrived.
Though the store changed ownership in 1958, the tradition of community service started by the Kreklau family continues today. St. Regis Grocery & Liquor remains a beloved cornerstone, offering everything from local favorites to unique liquor selections that reflect the charm of Montana.
