History
The Nez Perce and Palouse tribes, who wintered along the Clearwater and Snake Rivers, came in the spring and summer to dig camas and kous roots, pick huckleberries, fish, and hunt. Trapper visited the area next. North West Company enters the area between 1810 and 1830. Followed by a few traders and missionaries, miners swarmed into North Idaho in the early 1860s looking for gold along the Palouse River and in the Hoodoo Mountains northwest of Potlatch. Permanent settlers arrived in the late 1860s, taking up homesteads on the fertile hills. By the 1880s, the homestead lands had been claimed and the region dotted with small settlements and larger communities. The arrival of the railroad in 1885 spurred rapid growth, and by 1900.
