History
Founded in the 1880s, Chattaroy is located two miles east of the defunct Spokane Falls and Northern Railway's Dragoon station. Residents were buried in the Chattaroy cemetery as early as 1888. A post office called Chattaroy has been in operation since 1888. The origin of the name Chattaroy is obscure.
In 1900 the community consisted of approximately 250 residents, two general stores, Barker's Hotel, a drug store operated by a Dr. Smith, a blacksmith shop, a public school with some 60 students, a Congregational church ministered by Reverend F. McConaughy, a Sunday school, and a Modern Woodmen of America hall.
