THOMPSON FALLS MONTANA
Thompson Falls was named after David Thompson, a British explorer, geographer, and fur trader who established a North West Company fur trading post called Saleesh House in 1809. The arrival of the railroad in 1881 brought significant activity to the area, and the growth of nearby Cœur d'Alene during the gold rush attracted men over the Murray Trail to the mines. In 1910, Thompson Falls was officially established and named after its historical roots.
The Thompson Falls Dam, which has been in operation since 1915, was constructed atop the original falls, adding to the natural beauty of the region. The settlement of the Oregon Boundary Dispute in 1846 ended joint occupancy with Britain and established the border with British North America, solidifying the region as American.
Located at 47°35′48″N 115°20′37″W, Thompson Falls covers a total area of 1.73 square miles, according to the United States Census Bureau. The city is surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes, including its location in the Clark Fork Valley and the nearby waterfalls on the Clark Fork river.
