The Roosville Border Crossing connects the town of Eureka, Montana with Grasmere, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. A crossing has existed at this location since the mid-1800s, but border inspections were not conducted in this area until 1898. Fred Roo, Sr. settled on the Canadian side of the border in the late 1800s, and he bought out the "Philips Trading Post" from Michael Philips, and subsequently opened his own store and post office, which he named "Roosville". The US border station shares this name. This crossing is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
History
Canada's wooden border station built in the 1930s was replaced with the current facility in 1990. The US border station (shown at the left) was built in 1933, and replaced by its current facility in 2004. The port of Roosville, Montana once included a remote station at Trailcreek, Montana about 30 miles to the east. The Trailcreek-Flathead border crossing was permanently closed in 1996.
