Served as the steamboat port for the Clearwater Gold Rush

—which followed mineral discoveries at Pierce in 1860 —

Founded by Seth S. Slater, May 6, 1861, Slaterville (permanent population, 50) had 5 edifices - built mainly of colored blankets - 2 stores, 2 houses, and a saloon.
When the Colonel Wright "snapped her tow-line on the Grand Rapids and went whirling through the Big Eddy" just below here, May 13, Lewiston was founded to replace the new port.
One more steamer reached here June 1, but Slaterville was doomed.
