The population was 501 at the 2010 census, down from 556 in 2000. History The city is named for Colonel William Craig (1809–69), a mountain man who had a Nez Perce wife. He settled at Lapwai near his father-in-law Hin-mah-tute-ke-kaikt or James in 1840 when he gave up being a fur trapper due to the collapse of the market for beaver. The Nez Perce Reservation was opened to white settlement in 1895, and a town named "Chicago," a mile west of the current Craigmont, was founded in 1898.
