Started May 13, 1861, as a steamboat landing, Lewiston immediately became a primary commercial center for Idaho miners during their hectic gold rush to Pierce that spring. Steamboats continued to dock there until 1940, mainly after Columbia and Snake river channel improvements made navigation practical in 1914.  Finally a series of locks and dams made Lewiston a seaport, and large scale river shipping resumed in 1975.
