Bonner County Bonner County was
established in 1907 and is one of 44 counties in the
state. About 36,000 people live within our borders. The
population has been growing steadily and has averaged 7
to 8 percent growth per year in the past five years.
Many of the people who relocate here are seeking a
better quality of life and easier access to the
recreational opportunities our area offers. Business
owners, in particular, find it favorable to relocate or
start up here because of the availability of commercial
land, relatively low taxes and an available labor force.
