HISTORY:
The area now known as Cottonwood and nearby Keuterville has roots stretching back to the earliest days of Idaho's settlement. Cottonwood began in the early 1860s as a way station for miners and suppliers traveling inland during the gold rush that brought thousands to northcentral Idaho in search of opportunity; its name came from the dense groves of cottonwood trees lining the local creek. Keuterville, established by Germanimmigrant settlers in the late 19th century, once supported its own stores, school, church, and social life, with its name evolving over time from the original family name of local founders. Although it never grew into a large town, its historic church and cemetery remain as reminders of the community spirit that characterized early settlement on the Camas Prairie, reflecting the mix of cultural heritage and frontier resilience that continues to define the area.
