The first train arrived in Kalispell in 1891. Kalispell was along the route of the transcontinental railroad and Kalispell was the location of one of the divisions along the line. Great Northern Railway Depot was built in 1899. The railroad heyday in Kalispell was short-lived, lasting only 12 year, when in 1904 the main line of the Great Northern Railroad along with division operations were moved north to Whitefish, Kalispell continued to be served by a branch line. The depot has been renovated and now serves as offices and vistors center for the Kalispell Area Chamber of Commerce.
