Lewis county was officially
established March 3,1911
and was created from Nez Perce
County.
Prior to this Lewis County area
had a very colorful history.
The Nez Perce Indians made this
area their home for hundreds of years.
The first white men to tread
on the soil of what is now Lewis County were
Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark, during their famed expedition to the
Pacific Coast in 1805-1806.
County organizers bestowed upon
Meriwether Lewis
the honor of naming the county
after him.
Communities include:
Craigmont, Kamiah, Nezperce,
Reubens, and Winchester
