Map of Ringling A view from 1939:
RINGLING, (5,304 alt., 152 pop.),
was named for the circus Ringlings, whose ranch properties
in this section formerly included more than 100,000 acres.
The town is an important shipping point for Smith River Valley
wheat, which has high protein content. It was the southern
terminal of the old White Sulphur Springs and Yellowstone
Park R. R., now a 23-mile spur of the Milwaukee; this short
railroad for many years operated but one combination-train
daily, yet paid regular dividends.
