Clark said that from on top of
the little hill just north of
present-day downtown Council, he
could see “…many hundreds of
Indians and thousands of head of
Indian horses at one sight,
literally covering the valley as
a blanket.”
The
community has grown from its
humble beginnings, especially
with the boom of the logging
industry. As that industry is
currently declining, Council is
opening its doors to new
opportunities.
