Scope and content
- In 1879, Frank and Mary Stevenson homesteaded what is now the center of town. Early settlers called this area Stevensonville, but the name later changed to Enumclaw--an Indian name of a nearby mountain. The town of Enumclaw was platted on October 31, 1885, when the railroad decided to come through the area.
