Silver Bow County is a county located in the U.S. state of Montana. As of 2010, the population was 34,200. Its county seat is Butte. In 1977, the city and county governments consolidated to form the single entity of Butte-Silver Bow. However, the town of Walkerville is a separate municipality from Butte located within the county. At the 1920 census the county population was over 60,000, and until the 1950 census, Silver Bow was the most populous county in the state. It was surpassed by Cascade County (Great Falls), which was surpassed by Yellowstone County (Billings) in 1970.
