Initially known as Clover Creek by Oregon Trail travelers, then Belmont, Montpelier was named after a town in Brigham Young's native Vermont. In 1892 the railroad was extended to Montpelier, bringing population growth.
In 1896 Montpelier was the site of a bank heist by Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch gang. This historical footnote is commemorated by a plaque on Washington St (Hwy 89).
