Kootenai County

The County seat is located in beautiful Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and is on the majestic shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Kootenai County is surrounded by scenic mountains and twenty more pristine lakes and is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. Recreational activities include hunting, boating, fishing, and snow skiing. The County’s physical beauty and “livability” are partially responsible, especially in recent years, for an unprecedented population expansion and a rise in tourism as a major industry. These kinds of unique circumstances play a significant role in the challenges faced by Kootenai County government. visit site

City of Coeur d’Alene

Coeur d’Alene enjoys a rich history. Fort Sherman, around which a young Coeur d’Alene grew, was established in 1878. When gold was discovered on Prichard Creek in 1883, many settlers arrived in the area. Steamboat traffic began to flourish on Lake Coeur d’Alene in 1889 when lakes and rivers were used to move supplies to mining and lumber camps. Area waterways were also used to transport logs to mills. The city became a popular tourist destination when electric trains brought residents of Spokane, Washington to enjoy the parks, beaches, and excursion boats.visit site
