Timeline: First permanent
settlement was established in 1846 with acquisition of part of
the area through the Oregon Treaty: Idaho
(before 1863), becomes part of the United States (Oregon
Territory). The United States acquires all land south of 49 degrees
longitude by a treaty with Great Britain. Sacred Heart Mission
established on the Coeur d'Alene River. Idaho Territory
organized, capital at Lewiston. President Lincoln signed the act
establishing the territory on March 4, 1863 from the Washington
Territory. Included in Idaho Territory was most of
Wyoming and all of Montana. Montana became it's own
territory a year later in 1864 and Wyoming in 1868. Idaho admitted to the Union as the 43rd state
on July 3, 1890, signed into law by President Benjamin Harrison.

Early Forts in IDAHO:
- FORT HENRY: In 1810 Missouri Fur
Company established Fort Henry, one of the first
rendezvous and forts on the Snake River, near present day
St. Anthony, first American trading post.
- FORT LEMHI: In 1823 a battle was fought in Lemhi Valley
between men of the Snake River country expedition and the
Piegan Indians. In 1858 Mormon missionaries established
Fort Lemhi, reclaim first land by irrigation in Idaho. In
1858 Bannock Indians attacked the Mormons at Fort Lemhi,
killing two and driving the remaining back to Utah.
Present day Tendoy Idaho and the birthplace of Sacahawea,
on State 28 locate it.
- FORT LAPWAI: Henry Harmon Spaulding establishes a Nez Perce
Indian mission at Lapwai. First school in Idaho opens for
Indian children at Lapwai. First White Child born in
Idaho is Eliza Spaulding born at Lapwai. In 1839 Henry
Spaulding starts publishing the Bible in Lapwai on the
earliest printing press in the Pacific Northwest. Chief
Timothy, the first native Christian leader, baptized
November 17 1839. Troops were rushed to the Nez Perce
Reservation in 1862, when miners were flocking into area
and encroaching onto the reservation. The post was
originally manned by Volunteers but replaced by Regulars
in 1866. In 1884, the fort began to lose its value as a
military installation; one building, now part of the Nez
Perce Historical Park, remains. From Lewiston, take US 9S
east of Lapwai; one mile south of town is the Indian
Agency.
- FORT HALL: Originally established by an American Settler,
Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth, in 1834, this site becomes an
emigrant landmark. Wyeth sold the post to the Hudson's
Bay Company two years later. It was a key point in the
overland route where the Oregon Trail splits to
California and Oregon. In 1849 Fort Hall becomes a hub
for trails and roads to the western parts of the United
States. Over 20,000 emigrants who join the gold rush come
through southeastern Idaho on the California Trail. Heavy
traffic continues on the trail for many years. In 1870,
the US Army put up fortifications about 25 miles
northeast of the old trading post to protect stage and
freight routes. In 1883, the barracks were eventually
moved to Ross Fork Creek, about 25 miles northwest. The
site is on US 91, approximately 12 sites north of
Pocatello. Ft.
Hall Replica (Pocatello, ID).
- FORT BOISE: In 1834 the Hudson Bay Company near the mouth
of the Boise River erected Fort Boise. In 1854 the Snake
River Indians massacred Twenty-one emigrants led by
Alexander Ward in Boise Valley. This event leads to the
closing of Fort Boise the next summer and Fort Hall in
l856. Work began again on a new post in 1863 by a troop
of Oregon Cavalry. Boise Barracks were established at
Moores Creek by Major P. Lugenbeel and the US Cavalry. As
wagon trains of miners and emigrants increased the next
year, so did uprisings of the Snake River Shoshones.
Thus, constant patrols crossed the Idaho tablelands to
help keep the Indians peaceful, and to help support law
officers in the mining camps. The site (renamed Boise
Barracks in 1863) housed a small Cavalry force until
19l3. Since World Wear I, it has been used by the
Veterans Administration; many fine buildings built in
l890 remain. The oldest structure is the former officers
quarters, built in 1863. The site is north of downtown
Boise at 5th and Fort Streets. Ft.
Boise on the Oregon Trail.
- FORT SHERMAN: In
1840 Father Pierre Jean de Smet begins his missionary
work in Idaho. In 1842 Father Point establishes the
Jesuit Coeur d' Alene Mission of the Sacred Heart near
Saint Maries. The Mission moves to a site near Cataldo in
1846, and is transferred in 1877 to Desmet where it
stands today. Camp Coeur d' Alene was established on a
site chosen by General William T. Sherman for its beauty.
In 1887, it was renamed Fort Sherman. Its three missions
were to keep the peace in northern Idaho, watch the
Canadian border, and protect the railroad and telegraph
crews. The Canadians proved no problem, and the post was
abandoned in 1900. The chapel, facing the old parade
grounds still serves as church. The officer' quarters are
now apartment houses. From Spokane, Washington, take US
10 east 10 miles to Coeur d' Alene, turn right to the
City Park; four blocks west is the site of the fort.
