 Farmers of Irish, Scots, and English roots also settled in Montana.The historically mining-oriented communities of western Montana such as Butte have a wider range of European-American ethnicity; Finns, Eastern Europeans and especially Irish settlers left an indelible mark on the area, as well as people originally from British mining regions such as Cornwall, Devon, and Wales.The nearby city of Helena, also founded as a mining camp, had a similar mix in addition to a small Chinatown.
