The Great Depression of the 1930’s

The Lomond area was one of the hardest hit parts of the County during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Residents were moving away. Taxes, seed grain and relief liens were not being paid and land forfeited for taxes.  Special attention to this area was needed and in 1935 Improvement District No. 156 and 126 were added to Municipal District of Clifton No. 127 and in 1937 the Municipal District was disorganized and put into Special Areas No.4. This arrangement continued until 1951 when the residents were rehabilitated, and the area was ready for self Municipal Government.
