History

Just downstream from town is Ennis Lake, formed by the Madison Dam.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the Shoshone, Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Nation and Bannock (tribe) tribes hunted the Madison Valley each spring. The population was 840 at the United States Census, 2000 census. This brought on "the rush." Two months later, William Ennis homesteaded the site along the Madison River that was soon to become the town of Ennis. The elevation of Ennis is AMSL sea level. The Lewis and Clark Expedition viewed the Madison Valley in July 1805 from Three Forks, Montana Forks, prior to ascending the Jefferson River It can be assumed that some of their party came through Ennis on their journey.
