Page "Neihart, Montana" Paragraph 7

Neihart went through a series of booms and busts over the next half-century.

Mining booms occurred during and after World War I, in 1929, and in 1935.

The 1935 boom was built primarily around zinc mining.

In 1939, the town's population was 168.

During World War II, Neihart was a major source of zinc mining.

After the war, the rail spur was abandoned and the track removed.
