The Montville (Henry's) Lagoon Look-out 
commemorates the pioneering history of Jack McCord Aird
who selected property south of Montville, and in 1905
commenced citrus production. In the same year he married
Emily Smith, daughter of Alfred and Elizabeth Smith
the selectors of a property in Western Avenue adjacent to
selection 70v - a property taken up by Henry Smith in 1893 -
and the property on which this Lagoon was located. The Aird
family farmed their own selection on Montville until 1942
when Jack volunteered for military service.  He later retired to
Nambour in 1945 where his three sons John, Norman, and
Robert, and one daughter Eva, were to build their homes.
