There’s more to Spokane than lilacs

S

pokane, the largest city in the Inland Northwest, is the seat of Spokane County. Its name comes from the American Indian tribe that inhabited the region.

Its nickname, the Lilac City, was influenced by the distinctive flowers that bloom throughout the area in springtime.

Spokane means “Children of the Sun” to in the native language.

Before the 1700s American Indians settled along the Spokane River for fishing and hunting in the surrounding area.

Finan McDonald and Jacques (Jaco) Finlay arrived in the Spokane area in 1810 with orders to build a small trading post they named the Spokane House where the Spokane and Little Spokane Rivers met. This was the first white settlement in Washington State.

As the result of Territorial Legislature on Nov. 29, 1881, the city was incorporated as the city of Spokane Falls. It was renamed Spokane in 1891.

endleton, Ore., had its beginning in the early 1860s when Moses Goodwin purchased land from a squatter for one span of horses.

In 1868 the Umatilla County Court had a threemember selection committee to determine a site for the County buildings.

The site selected was between Birch and Wildhorse Creek to be named Pendleton in honor of Senator and 1864 vice presidential candidate George H. Pendleton of Ohio.

In December of that year, Moses Goodwin and his wife deeded 2½ acres of land to the county from which the original town was platted Dec. 18, 1868.

Small towns are an oasis to weary travelers

ayton, Wash., named for Jesse N. Day, who along with his wife Elizabeth, filed the town site plat in 1871, is known for fine dining and historic buildings.

The Lewis and Clark expedition camped near present-day Dayton in 1806 on its way back to St. Louis. The area flourished, and the fine homes the businessmen built for their families run the style from Queen Anne to Craftsman.

Ninety of these homes are on the National Register of Historic Places.

Just 10 miles from Dayton is Waitsburg, which still operates under the terms of its territorial charter.

In 2007, Budget Travel named Waitsburg as one of the 10 coolest small towns in America.

Walla Walla means many things to do

T

he name Walla Walla is from the native word for “many waters.” Both the Cayuse and Walla Walla tribes called the Walla Walla Valley home.

In the 1800s, fur traders established a settlements trading post and fort in the area.

The historic Nez Perce Trail was located where Main Street is today. The historic Lewis and Clark expedition skirted the northern and western edges of the Walla Walla Valley in 1805. Their return trip from the Pacific in 1806 took them through present day Walla

Walla County.

In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman traveled what became the Oregon Trail, and founded a mission among the Cayuse Indians.

By the 1860s Walla Walla experienced the effects of the gold rush with commercial,

banking and manufacturing activities, making it the largest city in Washington Territory.

Walla Walla became home to the first commercial bank in the northwest, the first college in the region and has the oldest, continuous symphony west of the Mississippi.

Fun Things To Do

Fort Walla Walla Museum Fort Walla Walla Museum is located within the one-square-mile military reservation that served as Fort Walla Walla from the 1850s to the early 1900s.

Time magazine rated Fort Walla Walla Museum as one of 11 notable sites in the nation to experience the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the Na-

tional Park Service added its recognition in 2005.

Spout Springs at Tollgate Mountain Spout Springs at Tollgate Mountain touts a top elevation of 5,550 feet with 550 feet of vertical drop. There are four ski lifts serving a total of 21 skiable acres.
