History
In 1890 Francis Warren settled the town of Bovill. Francis Warren built a log home in the vicinity now know as Warren Meadows. An English Lord named Hugh Bovill purchased some land in the area in 1901. He built a hotel for the accommodation of sportsmen wishing to enjoy the area’s super hunting and fishing. In 1907 he established a store to serve the homesteaders and appointed a postmaster. The Potlatch Lumber Company came to Bovill and with its loggers ruined the land and hunting.
