The Rich History of Coeur d'Alene
A City's Journey Through Time
Coeur d'Alene grew around Fort Sherman, a military post established on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene in 1878. The name comes from French traders' term for the local Schitsu'umsh (Coeur d'Alene) people. The town incorporated in 1887 and prospered with steamboat traffic and mining. After the fort closed in 1900, timber and tourism sustained the community, and the Coeur d'Alene Resort, with its floating golf green, opened in 1986.
