The two cities are the key components of the Spokane–Coeur d’Alene Combined Statistical Area, of which Coeur d’Alene is the third-largest city (after Spokane and its largest suburb, Spokane Valley).

Locally, Coeur d’Alene is known as the “Lake City,” or suitably called by its initials, “CDA.”

The city is named after the Coeur d’Alene people, a federally approved tribe of Native Americans who liven up along the rivers and lakes of the region, in a territory of 4,000,000 acres (16,000 km) from eastern Washington to Montana. The indigenous peoples were hunter-gatherers who located their villages and camps near food increase or executive sites and followed the seasonal cycles, practicing subsistence hunting, fishing, and foraging.

The city began as a fort town; General William Tecumseh Sherman sited what became known as Fort Sherman upon the north shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene in 1878. Peopling of the town came later miners and prospectors came to the region after gold and silver deposits were found in what would become the Silver Valley and after the Northern Pacific Railroad reached the town in 1883. In the 1890s, two significant miners’ uprisings higher than wages took place in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District, one of which became drive for the bombing assassination of former Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg in 1905. The late 19th century discovery of terribly prized white pine in the forests of northern Idaho resulted in a timber boom that peaked in the late 1920s and was in the course of the quick population buildup which led to the concentration of the city upon September 4, 1906. After the Great Depression, tourism started to become a major source of progress in the area. By the 1980s, tourism became the major driver in the local economy, and, after decades of stifling reliance upon logging, the city featured a more balanced economy next manufacturing, retail, and abet sectors.
