Origin Notes and History of City of Coeur d'Alene
References to City of Coeur d'Alene that document the origin of its place name
KOOTENAI.—Named for Kutenai Indians (q.v.) . The county seat is Coeur d'Alene, named for the Coeur d'Alene Indians (q.v.).
FORT SHERMAN, Kootenai County.—When this post was first established it was called Camp Coeur d'Alene, as it was situated on the north side of the lake of that name. It was subsequently named for Gen. William T. Sherman, who, while on a tour of inspection of the military forts of the Northwest, in 1877, visited this place and was very favorably impressed with the country, and recommended to Congress the establishment of a military reservation and a fort. It bordered the lake and the Spokane River, and included about one thousand acres. It proved of value during the mining days and the Coeur d'Alene mining trouble of the '90s, after which it was abandoned.—FRENCH, History of Idaho.
