Question 4 of 8

How did this county come to be?

History of Pend Oreille County

The county was created out of Stevens County on March 1, 1911. It is the most recently formed of the state's 39 counties. It is named after the Pend d'Oreilles tribe, who in turn were ostensibly named for large shell earrings that members wore. ("Pend d'oreille", while awkward in French, could be translated as "hangs from the ear".)

Part of Washington Voter Check

This is the Pend Oreille County page of Washington Voter Check, a project of True the Vote, pointing Washington voters at the official tools that already exist — and at Scan Check Protect to verify your registration.

Where anything here differs from what Pend Oreille County or the Washington Secretary of State publishes, they are right and this page is not.
