Lodge Pole's Rise From Railroad Camp To Thriving Village
Lodge Pole near the east line grew after the Union Pacific arrived in the late 1800s. The town built schools, now a twelve grade high school with university scholarships, and developed civic facilities, churches, a newspaper, and multiple lodges. Rich soil, abundant water, and progressive farming boosted prosperity, while taxes funded growth without bonds.
