Coeur d'Alene's history is intertwined with the development of the Northwest Fur Trading Company and the region's indigenous people. The neighborhood's name itself has an interesting origin. Here's a glimpse into the area's history:
During the early 1800s, the Northwest Fur Trading Company, led by David Thompson, established fur trading posts in the Inland Northwest. One such post, called Kullyspell House, was built on the northern shore of Lake Pend O'Reille. French-speaking traders began using the term "Coeur d'Alene" as a nickname for the Schitsu'umsh people who traded at Kullyspell House. "Coeur" means heart, and "Alene" refers to an awl, a sharp tool used for piercing leather. The nickname emphasized the traders' perception of the Schitsu'umsh people as sharp traders with hearts like the point of an awl. Eventually, the Schitsu'umsh people became known as the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, and the large lake at the center of their homeland was named Lake Coeur d'Alene.
In terms of architecture, Coeur d'Alene features a mix of styles that reflect its rich history and evolving character. From charming Victorian-era homes to rustic log cabins and contemporary designs, the city's architectural landscape tells a story of adaptation and growth.

Significant Landmarks:

Sandpoint, originally inhabited by the Kalispel Tribe of Native Americans, was formally recognized as a village in 1901 and gained city status in 1907. The Kalispel Tribe's ancestral lands encompassed a vast region, spanning across Priest and Pend Oreille Lakes, extending up the Pend Oreille River into Canada, and reaching as far east as Montana. In 1809, David Thompson, a fur trader from the Northwest Company, was among the early settlers who established relations with various tribes, including the Kalispel, and played a significant role in developing the fur trade in the area. In 1880, surveyors from the Northern Pacific Railroad arrived, drawing a few permanent settlers to the region. At that time, a general store owned by Robert Weeks was established in a small settlement known as Pend Oreille, situated on the eastern side of Sand Creek, opposite the present location of Sandpoint City. In 1882, construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad commenced, connecting Montana to the nearby community of Pend Oreille. Over the following decade, the settlement gradually expanded, leading to its eventual renaming as Sandpoint. Sandpoint lies on the shores of Idaho's largest lake, 43-mile-long with 111 miles of shoreline and 1,158 feet deep, stands Lake Pend Oreille. It is also surrounded by three major mountain ranges, the Selkirk, Cabinet and Bitterroot ranges. The city’s motto is “It just comes naturally”, an ode to the breathtaking surroundings of Sandpoint.
