Aerial Wallace Idaho Silver Capital of the World
Aerial Wallace Idaho
* Wallace is a city in the western United States, the county seat of Shoshone County, Idaho, in the Silver Valley mining district of the Idaho Panhandle. Founded 134 years ago in 1884, Wallace sits alongside the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River
* Historic Wallace has been on the local, regional, state and national map since 1884 and has survived the largest fire in North America, labor strife, train hijackings, illegal bordellos and gambling
* historic silver mining town
* SILVER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD — More silver has been mined in the Silver Valley; the Coeur d’Alene Mining District (Wallace area), than any other mining place in the world. Billions of ounces of silver and tons of lead, zinc, copper have come from this region
* HUB FOR THE NATION’S LARGEST WILDFIRE — Otherwise known as the _Big Burn_ of 1910, this massive fire burned over 3 million acres of northwest woods in just 2 weeks, 880,000 of those acres in North Idaho alone in 3 days. The thunderous holocaust rolled through the Bitterroot Mountains, reaching speeds of up to 55 miles per hour. Lives were lost, towns decimated with Wallace being the last bastion in the ill-fated fight against the fire.
* In the late 1800s Wallace decided that to be unique in its own right and not be a boom & bust mining town, the downtown business sector was built out of brick, stone and masonry instead of wood. Wallace wanted to be seen as a town that would outlive the ages, attracting mine companies and other businesses to plant their headquarters in the northern Idaho town. This building strategy proved very helpful during the _Big Burn_fire, as Wallace maintains its classic architectural integrity to this day. Historic Wallace would eventually be listed (in its entirety) on the National Register of Historic Places.
* The historic mining town of WALLACE (population 784) is nestled beneath Interstate 90, halfway between two ski and recreation areas in northern IDAHO'S beautiful Silver Valley. The town has long been FAMOUS as the "Silver Capital of the World" with 1.2 billion ounces of silver produced in Shoshone county since 1884
* At the heart of the Silver Valley, WALLACE has always been a town of boom and bust.FOUNDED in 1884, the town is named for William R. WALLACE, a local farmer.
