City support for a local pool dates back to June of 1922, when the fire department deepened the riverbed by the dam to create a swimming pool. Improvements included a spring board, lights and dressing room quarters. That summer there were 400 to 600 daily swimmers.
City government has been supporting a community pool in Luverne for more than 100 years, according to research shared at the Oct. 15 Luverne City Council meeting.
