The trade center Fort Colville was built by the Hudson's Bay Company at Kettle Falls on the Columbia River, a few miles west of the present site of Colville, Washington in 1825. It was named for Andrew Colville, a London governor of Hudson's Bay Company. As a Hudson's Bay fort on the frontier, Fort Colville was considered second in importance only to Fort Vancouver, at the mouth of the Columbia. Abandoned in 1870, some buildings stood until the early part of the 20th century. The construction of Grand Coulee Dam flooded the site along with the Kettle Falls in 1940. Lake Roosevelt is drawn down for dam maintenence occasionally and the Falls and the site of old Fort Colville are revealed.
