Somers is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Flathead County, Montana, United States.

Great Northern Railway magnate James J. Hill contracted to build a sawmill on the north end of Flathead Lake in 1900.

The principal industry at Somers is sawing railroad ties for Jim Hill.

Jimmy owns everything around Somers including the water, docks, sawmills, county roads, and all the land that the town is situated on.

Jimmy also owns the United States postoffice and nearly all the judges and lawyers in Flathead county.The IWW at the time was in dispute with Jim Hill in connection with strike waves throughout the Flathead Valley, especially centered in Kalispell.

[5] Sawmill workers organized with the IWW struck at the Somers Lumber Company, with company management quickly hiring scab labor and blacklisting union members as a result.

Tensions reached their peak in late July 1909, when the IWW warned unemployed workers to stay away from Somers to avoid the conditions there.
