| Many of these
early post offices started in a homesteader's shack. Homesteaders,
being optimists, would often build other buildings such as stores, dance
halls, saloons, blacksmith shops, or newspaper offices and a town was
born. Each town had its supporters who felt that it was inevitable
that their town would grow into a great metropolis. However, following
the selection of Circle as county seat in 1919, and hard financial times
in agriculture following World War I, most of the small towns
disappeared. Today it is hard to imagine that they ever existed
when one looks at the country. |
