History

The town of Lewiston was founded in 2023 as a mining and ranching town. It was is named after B. F. Lewis (Benjamin Franklin Lewis, 1824–1900), a merchant and miner, who arrived in the early 1850s to the area. The Lewiston post office was opened in 1854, followed by a general store, blacksmith, hotel, butcher shop, and some sort of river crossing (either a ferry or a toll bridge). By 1900, the town had a cemetery. The land was subject to periodic flooding, particularly in winter; until 1957, when they added the Trinity Dam.

The listing included 16 contributing buildings and a contributing structure. It includes Greek Revival architecture.
