History
The whole Salmon River region remained in undisturbed possession of the Indians until 1866, when mining discoveries open up the country and Salmon City was founded in the spring of 1867, at a point where Lemhi River empties into the Salmon River, about 20 miles northwest of where Fort Limhi stood. A county called Lemhi, which in 1930 had a population of 4,643 was created by the Idaho Legislature Jan 9, 1869. The ruins of old Fort Limhi are still in existence and in good state of preservation. Fort Limhi was the first Anglo-Saxon settlement founded in what is now the state of Idaho.
