Seasonal Plumbing Tips for Post Falls
The Rich History of Post Falls
A City's Journey Through Time
In 1871, Frederick Post accomplished what few achieved in that era of frequent conflict—an amicable land agreement with the native peoples, carved into the stone known thereafter as Treaty Rock. At the falls of the Spokane River, he established his lumber mill, and around this enterprise grew the town that bears his name. Incorporated in 1891, Post Falls thrived on the trinity of logging, agriculture, and hydroelectric power following the dam's construction in 1906. For much of the twentieth century, it remained a modest mill town, but the decade of the 1990s brought explosive growth as commerce and residential development transformed it into Idaho's tenth largest city—a remarkable metamorphosis from industrial village to modern municipality.
