Genesee County - The Great Crossing

Jacob Smith, a Canadian-born German, and his Chippewa wife opened a trading post in 1819 where Flint is now located, then the site was called Grand Traverse or "the great crossing". Jacob Stevens, a farmer from New York state became the first settler in what then called Flint River in 1825.

The county was named after Edward L. Bonner who established a ferry on the Kootenai River in 1864 near present day Bonners Ferry, ID. which is now the county seat of our neighbor Boundary County

The county seat of Bonner county is Sandpoint.
