Ravalli (Salish: sk̓ʷɫólqʷe, sk̓ʷɫʔó[3]) is an unincorporated community in Lake County, Montana, United States. The population was 76 at the 2010 census,[4] down from 119 in 2000. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Ravalli as a census-designated place (CDP). In the early 1900s, the Pablo-Allard herd in Ravalli was said to be the largest collection of the bison remaining in the U.S. and played a critical role in the conservation of bison.[5][6]
