The name was locally changed to Concord by 1897, and finally on New Years Day, 1900, the town changed to its present name, Clarkston.<br>In 1897, the Lewiston-Concord Bridge Company was formed with the intent of building a bridge across the Snake River between the two towns. The bridge was built in 1899, and eventually replaced in the 1930s.
