Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Kootenai County · Population 54,628 · Card no. 10506

A resort city on a lake in the Idaho panhandle, named by French traders for the local people.

The name translates roughly as heart of an awl, a comment on tribal trading shrewdness.
The lake's floating boardwalk at the resort is among the longest in the world.
Silver mining in the nearby valley made the region's fortune.
