it was chosen as a station by the
Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Electric Railway, and
was named Woodward's for the family who
owned the land along the railway route. When
Inland Empire Paper Company built a paper
mill they requested a name change to
Milltown. Railway officials refused the
change unless the Woodward family agreed. A
compromise resulted, using the word mill
combined with the first four letters of
Woodward. It was incorporated October 27,
1927." City
