| Info | The Yakama or Yakima Indians are the first known inhabitants of the region living in the Columbia and Yakima Rivers area. The waters were full of salmon and the fertile valley was abundant in berries, fruits and nuts. The natives excelled at basket making and well skilled at many crafts.
Incorporated as Yakima City on December 1,1883.
In 1884 Northern Pacific Railway Company established a station four miles west and moved over one hundred buildings from Yakima to the new site free. The new settlement was called "North Yakima." The reason behind this was because the Northern Pacific could not obtain the concession to operation from the existing "Yakima.
North Yakima incorporated and officially became the county seat in 1886.
"North" was dropped from Yakima by Washington State Legislature in 1918.
