Benewah County
Benewah County, established on January 23, 1915, is located in the scenic Panhandle of Idaho and boasts a population of approximately 9,530 residents, with St. Maries serving as the county seat. The county's name is steeped in history, with origins debated, possibly stemming from a misspelling of the French name Benoit or an adaptation of its pronunciation by English speakers.
Home to vibrant communities such as St. Joe, Santa Emida, and Plummer, Benewah County offers a rich cultural backdrop enhanced by two state parks: Heyburn State Park, Idaho's oldest, and Mary Minerva McCroskey Memorial State Park. Outdoor enthusiasts can also explore the Trail of the Coeur d'Alene's, a 73-mile paved bike path touted as the longest in the United States, traversing stunning landscapes throughout the county.
