Scope and content
- View of a Kent city street on a quiet day, with the Merrifield Hardware Company in the foreground. Kent is located south of Seattle. It was formed in the 1880's around its agricultural community, and originally called Titusville. A local landowner and hop grower, Ezra Meeker, renamed the city Kent after a hop growing center in England. The town was incorporated in 1890, and is now one of the largest cities in Washington State.
