Pend Oreille County, in the Okanogan Highland
Valley, is located in the northeast corner of the state. The county
was named by a French trapper who discovered an Indian tribe in the
area wearing dangling earring pendants, and therefore named it after
these devices. Pend Oreille was established as a county on November
11, 1911.
