History
Kamiah, Idaho, has a rich history deeply connected to the Nez Perce Tribe, whose presence in the region dates back thousands of years. The town's name, Kamiah, is derived from a Nez Perce word meaning the place of many rope litters, reflecting the tribe's tradition of weaving ropes from the fibers of dogbane plants found in the area. Kamiah was an important gathering place for the Nez Perce people, particularly during the annual fishing of the salmon runs along the Clearwater River.
In the early 1800S, Kamiah became a significant location during the Lewis and Clark Expedition, where the explorers stayed with the Nez Perce in 1806 after their journey through the Bitterroot Mountains. The town later grew as settlers moved into the area in the late 19th century, driven by agriculture and the timber industry. Kamiah became a hub for trade and community life, with its proximity to the Clearwater River making it a central location for commerce and transportation.
Today, Kamiah honors its Nez Perce heritage while maintaining its small-town charm, with historical landmarks and cultural sites, such as the Nez Perce National Historical Park, preserving the region's storied past.
