The History of Coeur d’Alene.

Do you think of golf when you think of Coeur d’Alene Idaho?  I doubt that many people do.  Did you know that our fair city is the home of the golf course with the world’s only floating green?  Coeur d’Alene has gone from a charming town of 16,000 in 1970 to become the center of business and recreational activities with a population of more than 35,000 today!

French-speaking fur traders named our lake in the mid-1800s.  Legend says the traders believed the local Indians to be sharp traders and they called the lake Coeur d’Alene meaning “their hearts were sharp as an awl (note the spelling meaning a sharp piercing tool used for cutting stones). Around the turn of the 20th century we became a thriving railroad and steamboat town.

Today, the city bustles with festivals, fairs and concerts.  Many of the activities center around the lake with its pristine beauty that has earned its reputation as one of the world’s most beautiful.  A River City Plumbing is proud to serve the plumbing needs of Coeur d’Alene ID and Spokane WA.  From our family to yours…have a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.
