    Understand

    [edit]

    Agriculture is a major industry in the area and the port handles a lot of barge traffic carrying grains. Wood chips and sawdust are transported via barges for use at a Lewiston manufacturing plant. Due to its inland location on the Snake River, the port handles goods headed out to Portland-Vancouver, and inland to distributors upstream.

    Clarkston and Lewiston were named after William Clark and Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark Expedition fame.
