Kootenai County history spans floods to Fort Coeur d'Alene
A historical overview tracks Kootenai County from its 1863 creation and boundary debates through to Coeur d’Alene’s growth, the Mullan Road era, fur trade, missions, and the 1915 formation of Benewah County. It notes Westwood Rathdrum as seats, Fort Sherman, and the Lake Coeur d’Alene boat era.
