John Werner, Scarsdale, NY is the winner! Join us for Week 351 of Orofino History Trivia a special feature to celebrate the history and heritage of Clearwater Country. Join in the discovery! Monday: A first in Orofino Tuesday: 1953 Wednesday: It caught people's attention. Thursday: There were colors. Orofino's first and only stop light was installed at the corner of Michigan and Johnson avenues in 1953. The city later had it taken out in hopes of putting in a newer stop light. However, in the ensuing years codes had changed and the type needed was too costly. The corner now has a four-way stop. Former Mayor Roy Clay was always a proponent of replacing the light, but the funds were not a priority with other projects that needed it more.
