Welcome to Downtown Spokane

Downtown Spokane began as a small settlement called Spokane Falls, founded by James Nettle Glover in 1873. The addition of an "E" in 1883 changed its name to Spokane Falls, and by 1891, it simply became Spokane. The area's development was significantly boosted by the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1881, establishing Spokane as a key commercial hub for mining, agriculture, and timber in the Pacific Northwest.
