City of Metaline

 
Date Visited:   Sunday, May 29, 2005
City Visited #:   485
County:   Pend Oreille
Visited With:   Michelle & Tacoma Jenn
City Name History:   Because the surrounding area was mineral-rich, miners of the mid-1800's affixed the name Metaline to the cascades in the Pend Oreille [Clark Fork] River. The towns of Metaline Falls and Metaline both derive their names from proximity to the falls.
