===Settlement=== American settlement of the Palouse commenced in 1871. Development of population centers at Genesee and Moscow are the earliest followed by Juliaetta and Kendrick in the 1880s. The railroad's arrival in Moscow in 1885 led to its development as the primary population center of the county. The establishment of the University of Idaho at Moscow in 1889 also was significant in the city's continued growth.<ref>{{cite web|title=Moscow History|url=https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/about-moscow/history|publisher=City of Moscow, Idaho|access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Genesee Marks its 100th Birthday|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=-5QrAAAAIBAJ&pg=6439%2C2508683|publisher=Moscow-Pullman Daily News|access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref> Settlement of Troy commenced in 1895 with Bovill being first settled by Lord Hugh Bovill in 1899.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bovill's history tied to English lord and his lady|url=http://dnews.com/neighbors/bovill-s-history-tied-to-english-lord-and-his-lady/article_a2b2dd60-b807-51f7-93d3-aaa8929c215e.html|publisher=Moscow-Pullman Daily News|access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref> Construction of a railroad from Moscow to Bovill was completed in 1907 with the town of Deary developing in that year on the railroad.
