Welcome to Lewiston, Idaho.
Lewiston, Idaho is a city in northern Idaho, at the confluence of the Snake River and the Clearwater River. Its main industry is paper and timber products production at the mill owned and operated by the Potlatch Corporation.
Because of its position on the Snake River, Lewiston has the distinction of being Idaho's only seaport, from which barges with timber products and grain are shipped down the river to the Pacific Ocean. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 30,904.
At the confluence of the Clearwater River and Snake River, Lewiston is where Lewis and Clark camped in 1805 and again in 1806. For a while, Lewiston was Idaho's territorial capital.
Today the city is an inland seaport where ships are loaded for a 465 mile trip down the Snake and Columbia Rivers to the Pacific. Lewiston is a popular small cruise ship destination. Clarkston, Washington, is across the river.
Lewiston is home to Lewis-Clark State College. Lewis-Clark State College is a public undergraduate college, it was founded in 1893, and has an annual enrollment of approximately 3000 students.
In the springtime there is a celebration named the Dogwood Festival. This celebration is named for the abundant dogwood trees that are in fragrant bloom during the festival. During and shortly after the festival these pink blossoms blow through the yards and the streets like drifts of snow.
During the fall there are a number of cottonwood trees that release cotton-like clouds of seeds that blow through the air and streets, blanketing the streets with a snow-like cover.
The town has a large Christmas festival that includes a number of large displays in the downtown area, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. These displays are typically quite impressive and often attract many visitors.
