History
3
Emile Grandjean, an immigrant from Denmark who had studied forestry there, came to this part of Idaho in 1883 to mine, hunt, and trap. Before Idaho became a state in 1890, he built a winter cabin below Grandjean Peak on a site later occupied by Grandjean Ranger Station. Because of his European studies, he became a professional forester here and later served as supervisor of Boise National Forest from 1906 to 1922.
