Clark Fork is a small town in Bonner County, Idaho.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.92 square miles (2.38 km2), all of it land.
The Kutenai Indians have lived in the area around Lake Pend Oreille for centuries, well before the first Europeans explored the North American wilderness.
After the Lewis and Clark Expedition, fur traders would pass through the area.
The origins of an actual town date back to when the Northern Pacific Railway constructed a line adjacent to the Clark Fork River, near the eastern shore of Lake Pend Oreille in the early 1880s.
By the 1890s a ferry boat service was used to cross the river or to travel as far as Heron, Montana, about 12 miles (20 km) upriver.
41.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 19.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
