History of Spokane

The original inhabitants were the “Spokane” natives meaning “Children of the Sun”.  Fur traders first arrived in the region in 1810.  When gold was discovered in Idaho in 1883, there was an influx of visitors and new residents into Spokane.  A large fire in 1889 burned 32 blocks of downtown Spokane and was followed by a massive rebuilding until 1912 when the population soared above 100,000.  When the rail arrived, Spokane became a major hub in the Western United States.  In the 20th century the economy was primarily driven by mining and Spokane was known as a center for Industrial Workers of the World or “Wobblies” speaking up for labor rights and freedom of speech.
