The county’s previous settlement list mixed genuine communities with roughly sixty named mobile-home and trailer courts — Ahern Trailer Court, Cozy Court, Skyline Trailer Court and the like. Those are private residential developments, not places the Census Bureau tracks as CDPs or incorporated towns, so they are dropped here rather than repeated as if they were villages. Milltown, the historic mill-worker settlement at the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork rivers, is no longer split out on its own; the Census Bureau counts it inside the Bonner-West Riverside CDP today, and both share ZIP 59851.<\/p>\n
