Shoshone County, located in the panhandle region of the great state of Idaho, was officially established on January 8, 1861. The county was named after the Shoshone tribe, a Native American group that historically inhabited parts of Idaho and nearby states. Shoshone County originally encompassed the whole of Idaho Territory and its current boundaries were finalized in 1917.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mining played a crucial role in the development of the region. Shoshone County was home to significant silver, gold, and lead mining industries, which contributed to its thriving economy. The town of Wallace, which serves as the county seat, was established in 1884 and is well-known for its rich mining history.
A fun fact about Shoshone County is that it is home to the Route of the Hiawatha, an award-winning, 15-mile-long scenic bike trail. This trail, which was once a part of the Milwaukee Railroad, has ten train tunnels and seven sky-high trestles along the Bitterroot Mountains. The trail's most famous feature is the St. Paul Pass tunnel or "Taft Tunnel," which spans an impressive 1.7 miles and crosses the border between Idaho and Montana.
