Lewiston is a fast-growing city with a small-town atmosphere. It is the site of Idaho’s first capital, which was later moved to Boise. Lewiston is also the site of Idaho’s only seaport, one of three port facilities serving the Lewis-Clark Valley.

Recreational opportunities abound in the Lewis-Clark Valley. Known as the Gateway to Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest gorge, opportunities for jet boating, whitewater rafting, swimming, fishing, hunting, hiking and camping are limitless. Miles of levee pathways follow the rivers for walking, jogging and biking. The area is often referred to as the "Banana Belt" due to the mild winter climate that allows for year-round golfing while being only a short drive away from snow skiing and snowmobiling. The Lewis-Clark Valley is a recreational paradise teeming with history.

Lewiston hosts a plethora of events to celebrate the Dogwood Festival each April including an Art Show and family actvities. Lewiston was also a key town in the journey of Lewis and Clark and their expedition to discover a waterway to the Pacific Ocean for President Thomas Jefferson. Each year Lewiston holds a Lewis and Clark Discovery Faire in June. This is also the month for their annual Traingle Motorcycle Gathering.
