The community is located next to natural waterfalls on the Clark Fork river. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Profile for Thompson Falls, Montana, MT )〕 〔(Incredible Journeys ), Montana Outdoors〕 The arrival of the railroad in 1881 brought the first real activity to the area. Two years later, when the gold rush hit nearby Cœur d'Alene, the town grew to accommodate the men going over the Murray Trail to the mines. In 1885 John Russell bought and plotted the town site. Thompson Falls was established in 1910.〔 The Thompson Falls Dam, in operation since 1915, was constructed atop the original falls.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thompson Falls, Montana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
