Impach, Washington
Impach, Washington is an unincorporated populated place in east central Ferry County, Washington〔(USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), ''Impach, Washington'' )〕 on the Colville Indian Reservation. It is within the Inchelium CDP.
It is located approximately west of Inchelium on County Highway 2, also known as Bridge Creek Road,〔(Impach, Washington WA Community Profile / Ferry County, WA Data )〕 at the mouth of a long coulee in rural Seylor Valley. Two prominent summits, Stranger Mountain, , and Monument Butte, , overlook Impach less than to the south.〔(AnyplaceAmerica.com, Topographic Map Search: ''Impach, Washington'' )〕
The community's place name means "white lake" in the Salishan dialect of the San Poil tribe,〔(Tacoma Public Library, ''Washington Place Names Database'' ): "Impach"〕 probably a reference to Camille Lake located about north.
Historically, Impach has been the site of traditional Native American dance ceremonies by members of the confederated tribes.〔(Washington State University Libraries Digital Collection, ''State history. Native Americans. Celebrations, picnics & pow wows''. 1937-01-22 ), newspaper article〕〔(Washington State University Libraries Digital Collection, ''State history. Native Americans. Ceremonies.'' 1937-01-28 ), newspaper article〕 Gold was discovered in Ferry County in 1896 and several gold mines operated in the Impach area as late as the 1950s, including the nearby Gold Twenty Mine which produced lode gold, lead, and silver.〔(Washington Gold, ''Ferry County Washington Gold'', "Meteor" )〕 During the early 1930s, a predecessor of the Works Progress Administration established a small logging operation in Impach, which brought some unemployed families to the area at the height of the Great Depression. The scenic valley is primarily grazing land today.
