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. |
