Engraving of several microbes
In this engraving of several microbes, one of the microbes was depicted with what looks like a human face on its surface. This image comes from the early days of microscopy and the human face is likely a figment of the scientist's imagination.

1 map: col., 46 x 40 cm. <br>Plat map from the Whitman County city of Farmington.<br>Scale 400'=1"<br>In 1886, the Oregon and Washington Railway & Navigation Co. built track running from Portland into eastern Washington. The track ended at Farmington, named after Farmington, Minnesota, the hometown of plat filer George Washington Campbell Traux. Arriving there with a few other pioneers in the early 1870s, Traux took advantage of the availability of cheap land, and had a survey done of eighty acres for town plats. The town incorporated in 1888. While stock raising was the first economy in the area, wheat growers soon took over, and sent their goods to nearby Almota to be shipped off to market. Another local trade was found in forming shakes for roofs. These hand crafted items were made from local cedar.<br> In the early days (1870s)search parties were often formed to look for children who had gotten lost in the bunchgrass on their way to school! However, by the 1890s the area was well on its way to development and a number of businesses could be found there, including a general store, blacksmith, livery stable, meat market, hotel, hardware, drugstore, creamery, brewery, flourmill, brick factory and even a planing mill. By the 1890s the population reached over 1,000. Yet this pace would not be maintained into the next decade. The population took a steady decline following the transfer of the railroad line to Tekoa, Washington in the early 1900s.<br> Of historical note: a number of Chinese settlers also lived in Farmington. Two full blocks on Washington Street was considered to be a Chinatown district.<br>Also during this time period, two fires changed look of the town's business sector. The first fire came in 1897. The second, in 1906, burned down the town hall where city records were kept.

Mr. Gregor Koshir filed the town plat in 1881 and it was incorporated the year following. There are a number of variances regarding the naming of the town. Some records say that it was named for Dr. J.A. Cole, the town's benefactor who helped obtain the post office and school in 1879 and 1889, respectively. Other reports say it was named through the joining of the names of two settlers: Cole and Worthington. Still another tale suggests that it was named by Dr. Cole, Ray Woodworth, and L.J. Wolford. These three supposedly took the "Col" of Cole and "ton" from Clinton--the son of L.J. Wolford.<br>Early Colton had a large Catholic contingency. In 1892 the Benedictine Sisters arrived, establishing St. Andrews Convent and a school. They remained to teach until 1937, when the entire convent returned to their home base in Cottonwood, Idaho. In 1937, however, the Notre Dame Sisters arrived to continue the school.<br>Staley, just five miles south of Pullman, was soon enveloped by the college town. Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Staley (some records report that it was David Staley), purposely platted the town in the hopes that its proximity to the Northern Pacific Railroad line would ensure its success.<br>Nine miles west of Colfax on Rebel Flat, Mr. Q. Diamond platted a town and named it after himself circa 1886. The Columbia and Palouse Railroad (later sold to Union Pacific) ran through Rebel Flat. The town school, begun in the 1890s, consolidated with Colfax by 1938 and the post office closed in 1956.

(which later became the Washington Division of Pleasant Valley Railroad Co.) came to the area soon to become Willada. The town's name is the combination of the first names of the railroad depot's agent (Will) and his wife (Ada). The post office for the town, however, was named after its first postmaster--Mr. James L. Lancaster. The town lay seven miles southeast of Evan (perhaps Ewan?) and three miles north of the Palouse River. The nearby school began as early as 1880. It was first known as Downing School, but soon changed its name to Lancaster Willada. It consolidated with St. John in 1943. The post office remained in operation until 1965.

When French trappers came to the region they called the area "Le Peleuse", or grassland country. The term now is used not only for the region, but a town and river as well. The town of Palouse lies on the south fork of the Palouse River. Modoc Smith and W.P. Breeding laid claims there in 1875, and the town (also known at that time as Palouse City) held a post office just two years later. By the 1890s, Palouse was a major trade area. The town also supported a healthy sawmill business and farming economy. The Northern Pacific Railroad arrived in 1888 and the town incorporated that same year.

1 map: col., 40 x 36 cm.<br>Plat map from the Whitman County city of Tekoa. Scale: 400'=1". <br>Tekoa's first settler, Mr. Frank P. Connell, erected a post office at his trading post in 1888. That same year, Mr. Daniel Traux platted forty acres of land into a townsite and Tekoa incorporated in 1889. At first the community was known as Fork of the Creek (Hangman Creek), but Mr. Traux's wife looked out from her porch one day to find a sea of tents. It reminded her of a story in the Bible which told of Tekoa--a "city of tents" and suggested the town be named after it. Tekoa housed a roundhouse and main depot for the Northern Pacific Railroad and quickly grew with its support. However, it also had a more diversified economy than some of the other railroad towns, such as Malden, and was able to withstand the rail's decline in the 1980s. It remains a small town in Whitman County today.

Located on the Snake River, you can perhaps derive the town's economic interests from this name. It lay directly across the river from Riparia and eventually melded into it. Alkali Flat Creek runs through the town as well. There were a number of shipyards located along the town's Water Street. With shipyards and the coming of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co., Texas City became important for trade and transportation capabilities. With completion of the Snake River Valley Railroad in 1907, Texas City also had a direct route to the Idaho border.

Scale: 400'=1".<br>The farming town of Colfax (located thirteen miles northwest of Pullman) was named in 1872 in honor of President Grant's Vice President, Mr. Schuyler Colfax, by one of the town's earliest settlers--Mr. J.A. Perkins. (Perkins' first name for the area, Belleville, was in honor of his girlfriend at the time. He changed the name when they were no longer together.) Colfax incorporated in 1879 and began as a cattle raising and logging/lumber town. Many people believed the land was not suitable for farming. This all changed by the 1880s, however, with the first crop of winter wheat. As the county seat for Whitman County, Colfax resented being overlooked for the site of Washington State's new land-grant college. This honor was bestowed upon the town of Pullman in 1892.

1 map: col., 38 x 26 cm.<br>Plat map from the Whitman County cities of Rock Lake City and Lamont. Scale: 400'=1".<br>The settlement at Rock Lake was platted on its southwest side in 1903 by Willis Anson Evans. Evans bought three acres of land, and in three years had encouraged the development of the town so well that it held a two story hotel (the Cliff House), a general store, lumber store, livery stable, post office, school and even a cruise boat business that toured the lake. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul ran its line on a trestle above town.<br> However, in 1911 a lawyer for the railroad--Mr. Marshall K. Snell--bought land from the Ewan family living a few miles beyond and the entire town was moved there. Rock Lake City changed its name to Ewan just one year after this map was published.<br> The town of Lamont is another town located near the eleven small lakes lying west of Rock Lake. It was named after a vice president of the Northern Pacific Railroad--Mr. Daniel Lamont. Other sources claim that the town is named after Thomas W. Lamont of Stanford Oil, but this has never been confirmed. The town began in 1907 and held a post office and was incorporated just one short year later. A new school was erected in 1910, but with the consolidation of the railroad lines and the transfer of a number of resident employees to other job locations, the school consolidated with Sprague in 1960.

1 map: col., 27 x 36 cm.<br>Plat map from the Whitman County city of Penawawa. Scale: 600'=1".<br>Named after a nearby creek at Union Flat, the town of Penawawa lay twelve miles west of Almota. Its first permanent settler, Mr. Ed Johnson, arrived in 1871 and raised cattle. In 1872, the territorial road running from Walla Walla to Colville stopped at the settlement and helped its economy greatly. It was platted in 1877 by founders Emsley Flincher, C.C. Cram and Francis Marion Byrd. Cram owned a ferry business on the other side of the Snake River and Penawawa grew as a ferry station and an exchange station that kept fresh horses for the stage coach route from Spokane to Pendleton. It was widely used until the highway was built and bypassed Penawawa for Central Ferry instead. There was also a railroad in the vicinity, located near Camas Prairie Road. The Penawawa post office was in existence from 1872 to 1937. Their school, which had begun sometime before 1890, consolidated with Colfax in 1940. The cemetery was also moved to Colfax (1960) due to the likelihood of water levels rising from construction (beginning 1963)of the Little Goose Dam.

The town grew large enough for a post office just one year later, but it only continued in operation until 1912. The post office, railroad station and general store all lay on Front Street, with the school on South and 3rd. By the time of this plat map, 1910, the Columbia and Palouse Railroad was replaced by(or perhaps incorporated into) the larger Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.<br> Many hypotheses have been given regarding the origin of the Pampa name. Some suggest that it refers to the pampas-like grass of the region. Others guess that someone--perhaps David S. Bowman, a southerner who arrived in 1883--named the town in honor of Pampa, Texas or Pampa, Tennessee.

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.

See the other part of Pullman: http://kaga.wsulibs.wsu.edu/zoom/zoom.php?map=wsu170 <br>Some speculation has arisen over the longstanding story regarding Pullman's inception and bestowed name. Prior to 1899 and the publishing of the first historical sketch of the town by resident Judge Thomas Neill, pioneer stories listed D.G. McKenzie as the first white man to settle in the area. After Neill's history, the notion crept into the historical record that it was in fact Mr. Bolin Farr who first settled and then platted ten acres for the townsite. Another discrepancy stated that Pullman was originally named "Three Forks", after the nearby junction of two creeks and with the Palouse River. However, Lawrence Stark, archivist of Manuscripts, Archives and Special Collections at Washington State University's Holland Library, suggests that this is merely the geographical name for the area on which the town of Pullman is situated, and not the original name of the actual town at all. He further disagrees with the likelihood that the town was named after Pullman Car Company President, George Pullman.<br> Some facts regarding the early town are certain however, such as the its incorporation in 1888. The town lay originally on seven hills, with today's College Hill then known as "Mechanic's Hill" and Military Hill then known as "College Hill". The original College Hill Addition (1890)is the site of the first college to arrive in Pullman--a military school begun in 1891. Apparently, the military school was academically well regarded, and preferred even over the State land-grant school when it enrolled its first students in 1895. However, the military college burned down that same decade, and with the growing State College in such close proximity, it seemed pointless to rebuild. The name of "Military Hill" however, keeps the school in memory.
