WELCOME TO COLBURN 

Colburn is an unincorporated community in Bonner County, Idaho, United States. Colburn is located on U.S. Route 2 and U.S. Route 95 8.5 miles (13.7 km) .There was a sawmill, shingle mill, a general merchandise store, a schoolhouse, a strong Odd Fellows lodge, a good hotel, a post office, and farms and ranches that dotted the country side. A railroad survey team was in the area studying how the Great Northern line could be improved between Colburn and Pack River.

Colburn is located about nine miles north of Sandpoint and was named after Jean Baptiste d'Armour de Courberon (known as Big John Colburn) a French Canadian who was employed by the Great Northern Railroad. The area's growth was mainly due to the railroad and the lumber industry. Harry E. Brown purchased the old lumber mill in Colburn.

Colburn is also known for small farms and ranches, along with state and federal land for recreational activities.
