Whitefish nestles at the northern edge of the Flathead Valley, which stretches 300 square miles and features numerous lakes, wild-scenic Rivers and is adjacent to Glacier National Park. Whitefish's location on the west side of the divide protects it from the extreme weather changes encountered in some other portions of Montana, making it ideal for year-round outdoor recreation.

The people of Whitefish are genuinely friendly and down to earth. The town's low-key atmosphere tends to make this tight-knit community a happy, warm place to live and visit.

Whitefish has a proud history and a rich timber and railroad heritage. The Stumptown Historical Society, located in the Whitefish Railway Depot, was founded in 1982 to preserve this history. The museum is home to railroad memorabilia from the turn of the century to the present. The Depot building, built in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway, is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.
