Toole County formed in 1914 from Hill and Teton Counties, Toole  County is named for Joseph K. Toole.

Toole County, situated in the northern part  of Montana with the Canadian line as its northern boundary, is an agricultural and livestock county, having practically no other industries, aside from the mercantile business in the towns.   It was created from parts of Hill and Teton counties on May 7,  1914, and has a land area of 1,958 square miles. 

A part of its southern boundary is formed by Maria's (Marias) River, which flows through the south- eastern portion.  In the eastern part are several creeks, the largest  of which is Willow, which rises in the Sweet Grass hills and  follows a southerly course through the county. In the Sweet Grass hills and elsewhere indications of oil and gas have been found.
