In 1977, the city and county governments consolidated to form the sole entity of Butte-Silver Bow. As of the 2010 census, Butte's population was approximately 34,200. Butte is Montana's fifth largest city. Columbia Gardens first began its long history as a family recreation park that was purchased by Senator W. A. Clark in 1899. Clark then expanded the Gardens spending more than $100,000 which encompassed 68 acres. The park also had a popular dance pavilion that first opened in May, 1908 with a "grand opening ball" to commemorate the occasion. Columbia Gardens Roller Coaster was built in 1906 as a three level, side friction Figure 8 coaster then was reduced in size to two levels in 1918.
