Kootenai County, County in northern Idaho, United States.
Located in the northern region of Idaho, Kootenai County encompasses 1,316 square miles of territory, including Lake Coeur d'Alene and multiple forested areas.
The county, established on December 22, 1864, takes its name from the Kootenai Native American tribe who inhabited the lands around Lake Coeur d'Alene.
The French fur traders initiated European contact with the Kootenai tribe in 1809, leading to subsequent Christian missionary settlements and the establishment of the St. Joseph mission.
The county government provides essential services through its administrative center in Coeur d'Alene, including vehicle registration, waste management, and public safety operations.
The region forms part of the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene combined statistical area, connecting Idaho and Washington state populations through shared economic and social activities.
