How did this county come to be?

History of Lincoln County

In 1883, Lincoln County was created from a portion of Spokane County, and four days later a portion of its area was split to create Douglas County. There have been no further alterations to its boundary since that time. The name Sprague County was originally proposed, in honor of General John W. Sprague, until objections from legislators resulted in the name Lincoln County being used in the final bill. Its 2,317 square miles make it the eighth-largest by area in the state. Centuries ago, the area now covered by Lincoln County contained an east–west passageway used by indigenous peoples. A spring near the present-day Davenport created a large overnight camping place. The early exploration of the Northwest Territory by Lewis and Clark did not reach as far north as the Lincoln County expanses.
