Lowman

History
5
Nathaniel W. Lowman settled here in 1907, and four years later, when he started a post office in his large log house, the community was named for him. Only a few scattered settlers lived here then. Lowman got all its supplies once a year from a large freight wagon over a state road built in 1894 to provide access to North Idaho. This highway followed in 1939. Eventually a one-room schoolhouse was moved here from Garden Valley. It still serves Lowman.
