Post Falls

Post Falls is a growing town in Northern Idaho. Its attractive cascade on the Spokane River is enough to draw anybody for a spell.

Understand
Post Falls began in 1871 when Frederick Post built a lumber mill along the Spokane River on land he purchased from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe. But lately it has been feeling growing pains as a bedroom community of Coeur d'Alene and Spokane, jumping by some 20,000 people between 2000 and 2020, and, with the consequent increasing cost of real estate and other changes, the locals aren't always too happy about it.

Get in
Post Falls is along I-90 and the North Idaho Centennial Trail, a 24-mile multi-use trail that stretches from Coeur d'Alene to the Washington-Idaho state line.

With the population boom has also come a rise in commercial development.
