History
The Fort Lemhi Reservation was located in Central Idaho, near Salmon. The Indians of this reservation were moved to Fort Hall Reservation in 1907.

The Reservation was established by Treaty of Sept. 24, 1868 (XV, 673) and by Executive orders and agreements.

Records
Records of many of the Indians who resided on the Lemhi or Fort Lemhi Reservation are included in the records of the Lemhi Agency, and after 1907 in the records of the Fort Hall Agency.

The 1900 federal census included population schedules for the Lemhi Indian Reservation. The census includes the non-Indian employees of the Lemhi Agency, as well as many pages of Indian Population Schedules for the native population of the Reservation. They are recorded as District 145, Lemhi Indian Reservation, in Lemhi County, Idaho.
