City Name
History:
|
Established
by the Hudson's Bay Company as Fort Colville in 1825 and named for
Andrew Colvile, London governor of the fur-trading company. A few
miles east, the U.S. Army established a post under Major Pinkney
Lougenbeel, and in his honor the place was known as Pinkney City. When the county was organized in 1863 Pinkney was renamed Colville and
designated as the county seat. |
