abstract
| - Kellogg is a town in the Silver Valley of northern Idaho. It is in Shoshone County, near the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and about 36 miles (58 km) east-southeast of Coeur d'Alene along Interstate 90. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 2395, down by nearly a third from its population of 1980. Kellogg is named after a prospector named Noah Kellogg. Legend has it that his donkey wandered off during the morning of September 4, 1885; Kellogg found the animal at a large outcropping of galena, which became the site of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mines; those mines led to the founding of Kellogg, a town where a local sign reads "This is the town founded by a jackass and inhabited by his descendants." Noah Kellogg is buried in the town's cemetery. After nearly a century of bustling activity in the mines, including a history of disputes between union miners and mine owners, the Bunker Hill Mine (& smelter) closed in 1981, leaving thousands out of work, and other mines reduced operations as well. Kellogg is also home to Silver Mountain Resort, a ski resort which includes Kellogg Peak (6300 ft/1920 m) and Wardner Peak (6200 ft/1890 m).
