More About Lewis County

Lewis County, Idaho's 27th county, was established on March 3, 1911, with its county seat at Nezperce. It was named for Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The Nez Perce Indians made this area their home and knew no whites until the Lewis and Clark expedition came through the area. The expedition spent a month in the Clearwater River Valley near the town of Kamiah on its return from the Pacific Coast in May 1806.
