The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is an independent agency in the executive branch of the Federal Government. The RRBs primary function is to administer comprehensive retirement-survivor and unemployment-sickness benefit programs for the nations railroad workers and their families, under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts. As part of the retirement program, the RRB also has administrative responsibilities under the Social Security Act for certain benefit payments and railroad workers Medicare coverage. The RRB was created in the 1930s by legislation establishing a retirement benefit program for the nations railroad workers. The railroad industry had pioneered private industrial pension plans, with the first industrial pension plan in North America established by a railroad in 1874. By the 1930s, railroad pension plans were far more developed than in most other businesses or industries, but these plans had serious defects which the Great Depression magnified. A three-member Board appointed by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate, leads the RRB. The President appoints one member upon the recommendation of railroad employers, another upon the recommendation of railroad labor organizations and the third, who is the Chairman, to represent the public interest. The Board Members terms of office are 5 years and expire in different years. The President also appoints an Inspector General for the RRB.

Stevensville is a small town, even by Montana standards, but it enjoys distinctions on the history and development of the state all out if proportion to its size. It is the oldest town in the state and may honestly claim other important "firsts". St. Mary`s Mission was established in 1841 - the first church and also the first school in the Northwest. With the Mission came agriculture; Stevensville grew the first grain, ground the first flour, sawed the first lumber, had the oldest planted fruit tree (still bearing apples in 1970) and practiced the first irrigation in Montana.John Owen established his trading post, Fort Owen, in 1855. His water right, filed in 1852, is Montana`s oldest, and at Fort Owen in the winter of 1858 the second school in the state was held. Then, as Missoula grew in size and importance, Stevensville declined; and although it was briefly the Ravalli County seat it was superseded by Hamilton. But Stevensville is not and never has been a dying town. It remains and continues to be a vibrant and healthy residential and business friendly community.Today, most of the residents of Stevensville work for nearby industries. The town’s charm has remained unchanged. Stevensville sees itself as a typical small town where neighbors greet each other and take care of each other. We are proud of living in such a strong and vibrant community.
