Winifred: The Town and the Community
| Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Contact us at admin@onlyinwinifred.com. |
Winifred's school district consists of roughly 3,000 square miles, and all classes from
kindergarten through high school are taught in the same building. The high school
enrollment (grades 9 to 12) varies year to year, but tends to be in the range of thirty to
fifty students.
Outside of the immediate scope of the school system, young people in Winifred are
involved in youth baseball, rodeo, 4-H, and many other activities. And in those hot
summer days, kids and adults alike spent quality time at the Winifred Swimming Pool.
Virtually every family in Winifred owes its livelihood to agriculture either directly or
indirectly. Winifred was founded as a homesteader town, and in many ways that hasn't
changed. Cattle, wheat and barley are the primary industries of the farms and ranches
surrounding Winifred.
People in Winifred tend to work hard and devote themselves to their families and their
community in an extraordinary manner. And at the end of the day, people like to get
together to enjoy life. It's a friendly town full of people who care deeply about their own,
but are always looking forward to meeting new friends.
Winifred is also a community that enjoys the lighter side of life, as one learns by
meeting "The Mayor" of Winifred.

The town and community of Winifred hold a special place in the hearts of people who
live in Winifred and those who come from this town. It is impossible to capture the
essence of a community like this in a website, so instead we will share some of
places and organizations that makes Winifred what it is.

The census tells us that Winifred has 150 residents, although that only counts the
people that live within the city limits. In towns like Winifred, this measure really doesn't
mean much, as most people in the community are involved in production agriculture
and live outside of town on the farms and ranches. That said, the Winifred community
is not densely populated by any measure. The community reaches roughly in 30 miles
rural area that contains some corners where a person can feel as though they were
the first person to ever set foot in that spot, and in many cases that just might be true.
Perhaps the most important institution on the community of Winifred, not unlike most
small Montana towns, is the Winifred school system. Winifred Elementary and High
School is a focal point of the attention of the community during any football, basketball
or volleyball game and it is the destination for most of the town for every school play or
Christmas program. The schools are also the primary source of youth activities that
ultimately involve most people in the community in one role or another.
