A view from 1939:

POLSON, (2,949 alt., 1,456 pop.), seat of Lake County, is in a natural amphitheater at the foot of the lake. The town, the trade center of one of the most fertile farming areas in Montana, has modern stores, and homes with delightful gardens. Within a block of the business district is a dock and breakwater. A 63-acre park on the lake shore affords facilities for golfing, playing tennis, and for boating and swimming. The Cherry Regatta on Poison Bay celebrates the cherry harvest (1st week in August). A 9-hole GOLF COURSE (greens fee 50¢) is available.
An increasing number of visitors outfit here for mountain trips (saddle horses, $2.50 up; guides, $5 a day).
