See the other part of Pullman: http://kaga.wsulibs.wsu.edu/zoom/zoom.php?map=wsu169 <br> The village of Pullman incorporated in 1888, about a decade after its first settlers (Mr. Bolin Farr, Mr. D.G. Mckenzie, and Mr. Charles Moore) arrived in the geographical area then known as "Three Forks". Once there, a number of settlers decided to stay and try their hands at farming, cattle grazing, mining, and the trade business. Stories have been passed down through the years that the town was named in honor of Mr. George Pullman of the Pullman Car Company, but these reports have yet to be verified. What is known is that at the time of the town's incorporation some two hundred souls resided there. A number of diverse businesses in the area helped the young town stay afloat, and even boast (and win) the argument that their town was the best location for the State's land-grant college. Some of the first businesses in the area included the Pullman Drug Store, owned by White and Johnson, Martin Zender's blacksmith shop, the Downen and Mills' Dry Goods Store, a real estate and insurance agency also owned by Mr. E.E. Downen, a Grocery store run by Ellsworth and Hunt, the "Mint" Saloon run by Mike Leitch, and the Palace Hotel and a livery stable run by Mr. M.C. True. The Columbia and Palouse Railway (later taken over by the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company) came to town in 1885, and was joined shortly by the Spokane and Palouse Railroad (1887) and the greatest coup of all, the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1890.
