Hobson, located in Judith Basin County in central Montana, USA, is a quiet town with agriculture as its core industry.

The town is sparsely populated (approximately 200 people) with a close-knit, friendly community atmosphere that retains a typical western small town feel - open skies, rolling farmland and the simple pace of residential life. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, and Great Falls is about 80 kilometers away for travelers looking for a peaceful and natural experience. As the epitome of Montana's "big sky," Hobb is a small but unique expression of small-town Midwestern charm.
