Proctor is an unincorporated community in Lake County, Montana, United States. Proctor is northwest of Dayton. The community has a ZIP code 59929.[1] [2]
It is near Skags Lake.
In 1869, Kootenai settlement began in the Proctor area, and a federal commissary opened there. Clarence E. Proctor, for whom the community is named, founded a ranch and opened a store at Proctor in 1883.[3] The town was known as Dayton until 1910, when many of the town's residents relocated to the current site of Dayton due to its shorefront location on Flathead Lake; the old townsite then acquired its current name.[4]
