About Puyallup, Washington
HISTORY
Puyallup’s earliest known history stems back to a group of Indians that inhabited the land nearly 200 years ago, prior to any European Settlers moving into the region. A group of some 2,000 Indian people, the Puyallup Indians, called this area their home.
Europeans began settling in the region in the 1830s, and as the town grew in the later 1800’s, its primary specialization became agriculture. Today, Puyallup is a thriving city ever growing in size. Sitting at the foot of Mt. Rainier, the area boasts spectacular views while still providing a modern-day urban atmosphere inside the city.
