About Tumwater, Washington

Tumwater is the oldest permanent American settlement on the Puget Sound. Its name comes from the Chinook word meaning waterfall. The original inhabitants of the area were Coastal Salish Indian groups comprised of tribes now known as the Nisqually, Squaxin Island, and Chehalis tribes. They were drawn to the area because of the abundance of shellfish in the many inlets of the Sound as well as the great quantities of salmon in the area rivers. The first American settlers came in 1845, led by Michael T. Simmons, who settled the area. The Simmons party cut a wagon trail that became the northern branch of the Oregon Trail. The original name given to the city was New Market, but by 1863 the name had changed to Tumwater. The area’s growth is attributed to its close proximity to the Deschutes River and its power-generating capabilities. In addition, easy access to the Sound made for good transportation and communication channels. This, combined with plentiful timber in the area gave rise to sawmills, which further grew the area.
