References to Town of Metaline Falls that document the origin of its place name
METALINE FALLS, a town on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway in the south central part of Pend Oreille County. The original town was across the Pend Oreille River and was named by miners in the golden days of 1849 because they thought the entire district was covered with minerals. The noise of the falls in the river can be heard in the town which is some distance south of the falls. (B. O. Dressel, in Names MSS. Letter 51.)
