Potlatch Lumber Company

The Potlatch Lumber Company was incorporated in 1903 and acquired large timber holdings in Latah County, Idaho. In 1905-06 it constructed the company town of Potlatch and the largest white pine sawmill in the world in that community. In 1931 the Potlatch Lumber Company merged with the Clearwater and Edward Rutledge Timber Companies to form Potlatch Forests, Inc.; the name was later changed to Potlatch Corporation. The company sold the town of Potlatch in the 1950s and in 1983 closed and dismantled the Potlatch sawmill.
