Southwick is about 11 miles up a grade from the North-Central Idaho valley community of Kendrick resting atop Potlatch Ridge. This book tells of the homesteaders, who started arriving in the early 1880’s, that wrote home about the rich, fertile farming and timbered areas. Southwick grew to be a major community in the early 1900's. Families traveled the few miles from the Cedar Ridge area to obtain supplies in Southwick. Multiple factors contributed to the community's decline making it now is a pleasant bump in the road between Kendrick and Orofino. Homes continue to be intermingled between a few agricultural businesses, a church, and a community center building. The following book link provides a view of the index listing .

       Its heyday, lasting from 1890 to 1930, the town contributed a significant population base to the county.   The Methodist’s established a church in 1890 holding their services in the town’s schoolhouse. Their last church, built in 1930, is the only church these days that offers religious services in Leland. The sole business, currently in town, survives by providing chemicals to the surrounding farmers.
