Description: Spokan Falls, known as the "Capital of the Inland Empire," was ì named after the Spokan Indians and the picturesque falls. In ì 1891, the name was changed to Spokane. The town thrived as a ì result of the abundant waters of the Spokane River, which powered ì saw and grain mills, and lured major transcontinental railways to ì Spokane in 1881. In 1889, a fire destroyed the downtown area, but ì like a forest after a fire, the town enjoyed growth and ì resurgence soon after. Spokane would attract people as diverse as ì Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, Calamity Jane, Billy Sunday, and ì Charles Lindbergh. Easterners found that its four seasons and ì profusion of scenic city parks gave them a place to ensure their ì destiny.
