Located on the Camas Prairie in north-central Idaho, it is within the Nez Perce Indian Reservation. 4 The population was 501 at the 2010 census, down from 556 in 2000

The Nez Perce Reservation was opened to white settlement 125 years ago in 1895, 10 11 12 13 and a town named Chicago, a mile west of the current Craigmont, was founded in 1898. In response to not getting their mail from the post office, it was renamed Ilo four years later, after Ilo Leggett, daughter of town founder and merchant W.O. Leggett. A fire burnt the town in 1904 and shortly thereafter the Camas Prairie Railroad bypassed the town and started a settlement, platted by Lewiston financier John P. Vollmer, on the northeast side of the railroad tracks, and he named it Vollmer. Ilo responded and moved its community to the southwest side of the tracks, adjacent to Vollmer. After a decade-long feud and the consolidation of the school districts, the communities merged in 1920 to become Craigmont. 5 14 15
