Lewis County, Idaho
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
