Shelby lies north of Great Falls on the great north central plains of Montana. This is prime wheat growing country, but large cattle and sheep ranches also predominate. With the discovery of the Kevin-Sunburst oil field in 1922, Shelby became the center of a rich oil producing area. Shelby is historically significant for the Dempsey-Gibbons World Championship prizefight held there on July 4, 1923.
