Originally inhabited by the Kalispel tribe, Pend Oreille County was one of the last counties to be settled and still features a relatively sparse population. Once the site of a small gold rush, Pend Oreille County’s economy is still largely based in natural resource extraction, especially zinc and lead mining. While Pend Oreille County has attempted to diversify their economy with the development of dams, mills, and cement manufacturing, zinc and lead mining remain the county’s most important industries and continue to employ a significant portion of the county population.
