Some
Information About Des Moines, Washington
There is no
evidence that Indian tribes had permanent settlements in Des
Moines. However, there is ample evidence that the Duwamish
and Muckleshoot Indian tribes came to Des Moines for fishing
and clamming.
What was to
become Des Moines was first sighted by Europeans on May 26,
1792 during the exploration of British naval Captain George
Vancouver on his flagship HMS Discovery. The first Americans
to visit the area were part of Charles Wilkes' Expedition.
The first
known settler was John Moore who probably arrived about
1867. His homestead claim certificate (#285) was granted on
July 2, 1872.
In 1887 F.A.
Blasher persuaded some friends in his home city of Des
Moines, Iowa, to help finance the development of town on
Puget Sound. The work was done by the Des Moines Improvement
Company.[4] In 1889 the area was platted into lots and sold
by the Des Moines Improvement Company, which had been
incorporated by F. A. Blasher, Orin Watts Barlow, Charles M.
Johnson, and John W. Kleeb. Lumber mills provided the
community with its primary employment.
Early
transportation to Des Moines was by water. The Mosquito
Fleet provided access to Seattle, Tacoma, and Vashon Island.
The first road, the Brick Highway, was completed in May
1916. The first cross-Puget Sound automobile ferry started
service from Des Moines to Portage on November 13, 1916.
This ferry service continued until September 1921. Before
World War II farming fueled the local economy.
