History
Fernan Lake Village was occupied by several settlers in the early 20th century. The owner of many estates in Fernan Lake Village, Sam Theis, tried to get his lots annexed into the city of Coeur d'Alene but it never went through. On May 20, 1957, 32 residents petitioned for the incorporation of the “Village of Fernan Lake" and was signed by the Idaho Supreme Court on July 15, 1957. The lake gets its name from John Fernan, a soldier stationed at Fort Sherman who homesteaded the area.[7]
