There has been a TIME CHANGE for the December 6, 2021 Council Meeting.  It will be at 8 P.M..
At 7:30 P.M. December 6, Paul Kimmel from Avista will be presenting the results from the Tekoa Survey along with points from the book, "13 Ways to Kill a Community" in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

 

The City of Tekoa welcomes you to its Web site. Nestled between the rolling hills and grain farms of the Palouse and the almost endless forested mountains of North Idaho.

Tekoa is a great City to visit, and a wonderful place to live and do business.When you come to Tekoa, you'll find a town of friendly people filled with community spirit.
In Tekoa, you're always welcome!


Tekoa has a rich heritage and history, having played a key role in the development and support of neighboring communities and farms for over 100 years. Tucked away in an incredibly scenic portion of Whitman county, Tekoa is situated at the base of Tekoa Mountain (elevation 2,490 feet), on the extreme eastern end of the rolling hills known as the Palouse, and to the west of the mighty Benewah Range of Idaho. With a population of over 800, Tekoa retains it's small town size and charm. Surrounded by mountains and farms of cattle, wheat, barley, bluegrass and lentils, it was once the busy hub of the area's railroads. Having an annual precipitation of about 20 inches and an average snowfall of 30 inches, it enjoys a definite four season climate. Just 39 miles south of the Spokane Valley, 48 miles north of Pullman, and about 55 miles from the Spokane International Airport, it's only a short drive away from major metropolitan areas. Click on a link below to find out more about this fascinating city and surrounding area, to view vintage photographs of Tekoa's past, and don't forget to look at our Attractions page, too. We hope you'll come visit us soon.

Tekoa is an excellent place to live. Imagine living in a town where folks are extra friendly; where people wave as you walk down the street; where housing prices are still extremely affordable and lots are just waiting for your new home to be built on them; where the schools are some of the finest in the State; where crime is almost unheard of; where the noon whistle signals lunch time every day; where everything is within walking distance. Yet despite its small size, imagine a town that is self supportive with a major credit card cardtrol for gas, a restaurant, a grocery & convenience store, a hardware & building supply store, bank, medical clinic and pharmacy, a U.S. Post Office, a small public airport, the second biggest public library in the county, separate primary and secondary schools, a fire department and ambulance company, as well as many more businesses, churches and institutions. So come make your home Tekoa, it's a great place to live.
