Luther is in the mountains northwest of Red Lodge. The town was named for the Luther family; Grace Luther kept the post office in one corner of her husband’s general store. At one time there was also a blacksmith shop, a lumberyard and a saloon. Linley and Luther were sometimes called the “twin cities.” (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
