About Republic

Republic is Ferry County's seat, founded by prospectors on Granite Creek in 1896 and first known as Eureka Gulch. Gold and logging shaped the town, and its mining past even produced the Republic and Kettle Valley Railway, nicknamed the Hot Air Line. Today Clark Avenue, the Ferry County Historical Center, and the Kaufman Cabin keep the old camp visible. Prospectors' Days in June turns that history into mining and logging competitions, gold panning, and an old-west gunfight. Republic is north-central Washington where the county seat still wears its mining-camp origin.
