Coutts (/ˈkuːts/ KOOTS) is a village in southern Alberta, Canada that is a port of entry into the U.S. state of Montana.[4] It is one of the busiest ports of entry on the Canada–United States border in western Canada. It connects Highway 4 to Interstate 15, an important trade route (CANAMEX Corridor) between Alberta, American states along I-15, and Mexico.
The community has the name of William Burdett-Coutts, a railroad official.[5]
In 2004, a joint border facility opened in Coutts–Sweet Grass, Montana, housing both Canadian and American federal authorities.[6]
