The city of Coeur D'Alene was originally inhabited by an Indian tribe called Coeur d'Alene. In fact, the tribe was named by the French Canadian fur traders in reference to their tough trading practices. Coeur d'Alene is a French word which means heart of the awl. This also implies shrewd or sharp - hearted. There were a lot of miners’ disputes in the Coeur d'Alene city. The name of the city was directly taken from a fort called Fort Coeur d'Alene and was constructed by General William Tecumseh Sherman.
