History??
[edit]I find it very strange that this location has no history section, given its prominence as the largest town on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation and its location on the Missouri River. All I could see is a lackingly-written section on the New Deal stuff that absolutely reeks of original research that's been dated for over three years now. I think that's long enough without any verification. Please forgive me if I've been too bold here by removing that section: the text can be found below.
The article deserves a proper history section with a balanced point of view. Why's the town here? Who started it? Why's it the biggest on the reservation? Maybe the WPA part can be woven into that. I would go ahead and write such a thing, but I live on the other side of the world and am no expert in history for that locale. Hopefully someone else can be. -DyluckTRocket (talk) 11:14, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Works Progress Administration
One of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs that put people to work across the nation was the Works Progress Administration. This agency was responsible for the construction of the Roosevelt County Courthouse, an airport (the airplane hangar), a golf course, and a library. The Montana Highway Department on Front Street was built around this time. WPA project Fort Peck Dam created electricity, and the WPA erected electric lines in Wolf Point. Many people learned how to drive a car for the first time working on the Fort Peck Dam and roads were built around Wolf Point. In the WPA records, an armory is listed in the same line with roads. The armory and barracks were near the courthouse, today's library, and the Coliseum. Without the WPA funding, the Coliseum, which was torn down to make way for the new Senior Center, was an option for a courthouse. Less identifiable projects created in Wolf Point under Roosevelt include recreation, water wells, and storage sheds.
