YELLOW DOG, an early community with a blacksmith shop and grocery store; in 1905, a stop on the Spokane and Inland Empire RR; located in the NW part of the county. Formerly Almeda, which see. The name Yellow Dog arose when a resident remarked that he did not like the name Almeda and would rather call the area Yellow Dog. From that time on the local name for the area has remained Yellow Dog. Today the community is gone and the name no longer appears on county maps, but it does appear on a nearby highway sign.
