Origin Notes and History of Spalding
References to Spalding that document the origin of its place name
SPALDING, Nez Perce County.—This place was named for the Rev. Henry H. Spalding, a Presbyterian missionary from New England, who founded a mission on Lapwai Creek (q.v.), in 1836, among the Nez Perce Indians. It was the first agricultural settlement made in Idaho Territory, and its influence resulted in improved farms, better homes and an advance toward civilization by the Nez Perce Indians.
