History

The town of Sun River is named from the Sun River, on which it is located by. The name was from the Indian word Nataeosueti, translated by the English as "Medicine" or "Sun" river. Artifacts have been found in the area related to native cultures dating back to 2000 B.C.. More recent Native tribes included the Blackfeet and Crows. The current Mayor of Sun River is Sir Gavin Leach Evangelist and cowboy wrangler Albert T. Ramtom was born there in 1901.

Climate

Like most of Montana outside of the highest mountains, Sun River has a cold semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) characterised by hot summers with chilly nights, and cold winters with very high temperature variability due to warming by chinook winds contrasting with occasional severe chilling by polar air from Canada.

During winter, maximum temperatures exceed {{convert|50|F|C|disp=or}} on an average of 18.4 days between December and February, and a total of 26.7 days in November and March. During cold outbreaks minima fall below {{convert|0|F|C|1|disp=or}} on 25.5 nights in an average winter, though only seven such nights occurred during the very mild winter of 1999–2000 but as many as fifty-two in the cold winter of 1968–69. In the summer temperature exceed {{convert|90|F|C|1|disp=or}} on 14.2 days, although {{convert|100|F|C|1|disp=or}} is exceeded merely once in five summers on average.

Most precipitation comes from thunderstorms in late spring and summer, but even then it is less heavy than further into the Plains. The wettest recorded month has been May 1953 with {{convert|6.74|in|mm|1|disp=or}}, whilst in September 2012 not even a “trace” was reported. Snowfall is moderate due to the dry winters, with a mean of {{convert|39.2|in|m|2|disp=or}} and a median of {{convert|29.4|in|m|2|disp=or}}. The most snow in a month has been {{convert|28.8|in|m|2|disp=or}} in April 1967, whilst the most snow on the ground has been {{convert|19|in|m|2|disp=or}} on 17 February 1959 following a storm depositing {{convert|13.9|in|m|2}} over the previous two days.
