HISTORY OF THOMPSON FALLS MONTANA
Thompson Falls Montana was named after David Thompson, the British explorer, geographer and fur trader. He was called the Koo Koo Sint (star gazer) by the Indians. He established a fur trading post, the 'Saleesh House', in 1809. The Saleesh House was used sporadically until the 1820s, and mostly by employees. The Saleesh House is no longer in existence.
There was little activity in the area until 1881 and the coming of the railroad. The few inhabitants of the town felt they were being neglected by the Railroad, so they decided to get attention for themselves. They piled logs on the railway, and forced the train to stop. The townspeople then boarded the train to persuade passengers to settle in Thompson Falls. One of the crew stayed behind and built the first home within the present town site. Soon after in 1883, the gold rush hit Couer D'Alene mines came and the town grew to accommodate the men going over the Murray trail to the mines. In 1885 John Russell bought 40 acres and platted the townsite.
