Pinkney City (also called Pinkneyville) was a small community outside of Fort Colville (US Army) in what is now Stevens County, Washington.

Originally named for Brevet Major Pinkney Lugenbeel, first commander and builder of the fort in 1859.

The next post office was established November 25, 1862 and called Fort Colville.

[4] After the fort was abandoned in 1882, Pinkney City began to disappear with most businesses moving three miles to the current town of Colville, Washington.
