The Port of Lewiston, Idaho’s only seaport, began operations in 1975 after the completion of Lower Granite Dam, offering a crucial transportation alternative for agricultural and bulk goods. Over the past 50 years, it has played a vital role in economic resilience. The port’s integration with rail, truck, and river barge transportation has helped inland producers compete in international markets, with wheat and grains forming the bulk of outbound shipments. As the region’s economic anchor, the Port of Lewiston continues to shape industry, job growth, and economic stability, positioning itself for another 50 years of regional development.
