Established as a Northern Pacific Railroad station in 1883, Noxon is named for an early prospector in the area. It thrived for many years as a railroad and logging town. In 1960 Washington Water Power completed the construction of the Noxon Rapids Dam, which is capable of generating 400,000kw of electrical power.(Copyright 2009, Montana Historical Society: Montana Place Names from Alzada to Zortman, Montana Historical Society Research Center Staff)The <a href="/categories/moreinfo.asp?SiteID=1&IDRRecordID=709">Kootenai National Forest</a> is located in the northwest corner of Montana and the northeast corner of Idaho on the Canadian border.
