Walkerville is a town in Silver Bow County, Montana, United States, that is an enclave of the consolidated city-county of Butte.

Walkerville is a suburb of Butte, Montana and is home to some of the earliest mining sites in the area.

Walkerville is named for four of those investors: brothers Joseph, Samuel, Matthew and David Walker of Salt Lake City;[4] they had purchased the lucrative Alice mine upon recommendation by their agent (and later Copper King) Marcus Daly.

In 1893, silver prices dropped, but the town's economy continued to thrive due to its copper production.

[6] The town incorporated in 1890, and by the early 1900s almost 2,500 people lived there, mostly Cornish and Irish immigrants who came to work in the mines.

[7] Walkerville's economic success continued until 1918 when the end of World War I caused copper prices to drop.

In 1955, the Anaconda Company decided to begin open-pit mining operations, which transformed Walkerville.

But extracting metals was cheaper with the open pit method, and as copper prices dropped after World War II, the old Alice Mine transformed into the Alice Pit.

Blasting in the pit, located in the middle of Walkerville, angered residents who complained of noise, flying rocks, and cracking basements.

When the blasting and digging rendered Sibyl, Rose, and Pearl streets impassable, they were condemned and fenced off.

Mayor Jimmy Shea responded by demanding that the Company formally petition the city council to discontinue and vacate the streets.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.23 square miles (5.78 km2), all land.
