A view from 1939:

TOWNSEND, (3,833 alt., 740 pop.), the seat of Broadwater County and once a busy place, lost much of its liveliness when automobiles and good roads brought Helena within easy travel distance of the inhabitants of the valley ranches. There are only a few business establishments, and drab frame and log buildings are neglected and weather-beaten. A few well-kept dwellings still face the wide tree-shaded streets.
