Lewiston combines the working character of an inland port with the warm, open setting of a river confluence in a way that reflects its position where the Snake and Clearwater rivers meet. The Port of Lewiston connects the city to commercial navigation on the Snake and Columbia rivers, extending to the Pacific Ocean. Founded in 1861 during a gold rush, Lewiston served as the first capital of Idaho Territory from 1863 to 1865. Its name honours Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
