Grand Forks was a town in Shoshone County, Idaho which was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1910. Its site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2][1]

It once flourished as a railway town. The site is little-changed since the town was burned. It was deemed "significant as an area that was not reoccupied or altered after that disaster."[2]

It is located east of Avery, Idaho.[2]
