Not exactly...

Great Falls -- named for an unnavigable falls in the Missouri River -- was a Native American settlement that was visited by the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805, in the outbound portion of their journey. The party passed through Great Falls again in the opposite direction in 1806.

What we know as Great Falls today was founded in 1883. Founders included Paris Gibson, Silas Beachley, James J. Hill, and Charles Arthur Broadwater.
