A view from 1939:

WHITEFISH, (3,035 alt., 2,803 pop.),is a neat lakeshore town, with modern business buildings of brick, and dwellings of frame-and-stucco construction. Shaded streets border lawns ornamented with shrubs and trees.

The town is in the open upper Flathead Valley, with the Kootenai National Forest, the Flathead. It is a division point on the Great Northern Ry., with railroad shops. Nearby sawmills give employment to many men.

WHITEFISH LAKE, 1 mile wide and 7 miles long, stretches northward with many summer homes and camps along its forested shores. Between the town and the lake is a.public park and bathing beach. A regatta (July 4th) features outboard motorboat racing, aquaplaning, swimming, and diving.
