Place Notes
Moscow is a city in northern Idaho, along the Washington/Idaho border. It is the largest city and county seat of Latah County.
Miners and farmers began arriving in the northern Idaho area after the Civil War. The first permanent settlers came to the Moscow area in 1871.
The city's first proposed name was going to be "Hog Heaven", but reportedly the settlers' wives objected, and "Paradise" was adopted instead. This name survives in a few place names and features (for example, Paradise Creek loops through the town), but was replaced by "Moscow" a few years later
