Post Falls had around 7,000 people in 1993, but from '93 to 2003 it nearly tripled to 20,136 and the current 2006 population is 24,427. It is believed that Post Falls' rapid growth rate will continue, particularly because of its proximity to Couer d'Alene and Spokane.

The Spokane River runs through Post Falls, and it's a popular swimming area when families prefer to avoid the crowds in Coeur d'Alene. It's also made the area a popular spot to retire, creating high-scale neighborhood such as Riverside Harbor which boasts gorgeous houses along the river.

And in Falls Park (location of dam), you can see the chains that held up the crane for dam construction! -- Source: Wikipedia.com
