New Polson MT
History
Polson, Montana is part of the region that was once occupied in the early 19th century by the Indian tribes Salish and the Pend d’Oreilles and one band of the Kootenai Tribe. In the 1820s, non-Indian fur-traders visited the area. The first ferry across the lower Flathead River at present-day Polson was operated by French-Canadian Abraham Finley in 1840. Non-Indians started settling in the valleys following a Presidential Proclamation that opened “surplus” reservation lands to settlement in 1910. The city transitioned from a regional commercial and trade center to a resort community during the latter half of the 20th century.

The grant is also focused on disadvantaged children as part of the Montana Comprehensive Literacy State Development Project. In the succeeding year, the two districts will be eligible to receive $450,000 each.
