In 1900, it was chosen as a station by the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Electric Railway, and was named Woodward's for the family who owned the land along the railway route. When Inland Empire Paper Company built a paper mill they requested a name change to Milltown. Railway officials refused the change unless the Woodward family agreed. A compromise resulted, using the word mill combined with the first four letters of Woodward. It was incorporated Oct. 27, 1927; 47.69415°N, 117.2703°W) |
