509-684-5973 The history of the Colville area started with the Native Americans who lived near the Columbia River and fished for salmon for thousands of years. Early explorers and fur trappers roamed over the rivers and mountains. David Thompson's visit to the area put northeast Washington on the map in 1811. The discovery of gold in 1852 in the region brought many more immigrants. Loggers, farmers and ranchers were the last major influx at the turn of the century. People continue to move to the area today for clean air and water and small town friendliness. Colville, founded in 1890, developed a "civic plaza" which includes the County Courthouse, City Hall, Public Library and Post Office in the geographical center of the city. The building of Grand Coulee Dam in 1939, changed the region as the historic salmon fishery ended. Campgrounds now ring the lake where small towns once existed. Water enthusiasts enjoy the opportunity to boat, sail, swim, fish and camp in the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.
