Pen d’Oreille City was an active travel stop over for many miners headed across the region to the gold fields of British Columbia and Montana, and later many stayed to found the regions own mining lore. In neighboring Squaw Bay (now Scenic Bay), Bayview was founded in the 1880’s as a center for hunting and trapping, logging and mining of limestone for use in cement, terra cotta tile and brick.
