About Noxon

Noxon is a census-designated place (CDP) in Sanders County, Montana, United States. Its population was 255 in 2020.

The town was established in 1883 as a Northern Pacific Railroad station.

On February 27, 2024, a fire destroyed three local businesses, a restaurant, cafe, and a grocer. These buildings were three of only four downtown businesses. The cause of the fire was undetermined.

In July 2024 the Noxon Bridge was closed due to structural damage. The temporary grocery store had to be closed because it could not receive supplies. The over 100 year old bridge closed for one week but continued to need replaced. In February 2026 about half of the estimated $35 to $37 million replacement cost was set aside using county, state and federal funds.
