COLVILLE Visitors Info Center by visitwainfo

509-684-5973 The history of the Colville area started with the Native Americans who lived near the Columbia River and fished for salmon for thousands of years. Early explorers and fur trappers roamed over the rivers and mountains. David Thompson's visit to the area put northeast Washington on the map in 1811. The discovery of gold in 1852 in the region brought many more immigrants. Loggers, farmers and ranchers were the last major influx at the turn of the century. People continue to move to the area today for clean air and water and small town friendliness. Colville, founded in 1890, developed a "civic plaza" which includes the County Courthouse, City Hall, Public Library and Post Office in the geographical center of the city. The building of Grand Coulee Dam in 1939, changed the region as the historic salmon fishery ended. Campgrounds now ring the lake where small towns once existed. Water enthusiasts enjoy the opportunity to boat, sail, swim, fish and camp in the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area.

CONCONULLY Visitors Info Center by visitwainfo

509-826-1475 Located 20 miles from Okanogan, Conconully is that tiny town nestled in a mountain valley surrounded by lakes, on the sunny side of Washington's North Cascades. The splendor of the state and national forests -- is waiting for you. Conconully began as a boom town called Salmon City by the miners who arrived seeking silver and gold. Their efforts were not particularly successful because the veins of ore were badly fractured. After the miners came farmers and ranchers, many of whom received a grant of land from the federal government and a rifle with which to defend it. In 1887 Conconully became a town of the Washington Territory. By 1889, in recognition of its central location within Okanogan County, Conconully was the county seat, a designation that continued until 1914. It is a unique community in the heart of Okanogan County and the welcome mat is always out!

Teapot Gas Station - Historic Building and PhotoOp by VisitWa

The Zillah Teapot Gas Station, a local landmark listed on the National Register of Historical Places. The Teapot Gas Station was originally built as a protest against the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920’s. The Teapot stemmed from a government scandal involving the Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall. Late in 1921 the Navy owned oil reserves at Teapot Dome, WY, and Elk Hill, CA. The Department of Interior at the direction of Secretary Fall leased the Teapot Dome Fields to oilman Henry Sinclair. As the result of a Senate investigation Secretary Fall was convicted of accepting a bribe and sent to prison for a year. Sinclair was convicted of contempt of the Senate. Later in 1927, by a decision of the Supreme Court, the oil fields were returned to ownership of the United States Government. It was during this scandal that Jack Ainsworth built the Teapot Gas Station in 1922.
