Origin Notes and History of City of Clark Fork
References to City of Clark Fork that document the origin of its place name
CLARKS FORK RIVER, Bonner County.—The name "Clark River" was given to the Bitterroot by Captain Lewis on September 6, 1805, as Captain Clark was the first white man who had visited its waters. The stream to which Clark's name is attached is now the Clark's Fork of the Columbia, and this is a continuation of the Bitterroot River. This stream in its entirety might well be dubbed "the river of many names," for Clark's is but one of them. The stream really rises just south and east of Butte, Montana, where the creek is known as Silverbow. Then in succession follow the names Deer Lodge, Hellgate, Missoula and Clarks Fork. The river is a beautiful one, and Clark's name should apply to the whole stream, or at least to that part of it from the junction of the Bitterroot and Hellgate to the Columbia. At Pend Oreille Lake (q.v.) the river expands into a very large lake, one of the finest in the West, and surrounded by high, timbered mountains.—WHEELER, Trail of Lewis and Clark.
