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. 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.
