The now-contradictory name of Westby emphasizes the fact that when the town was founded in North Dakota in 1910, it was the westernmost settlement in the state. This changed in 1913 when the town was moved to its present location in Montana in order to be alongside the newly-built Soo Line railroad tracks as well as take advantage of the more liberal liquor laws in Montana at the time.
