How did this county come to be?
History of Kittitas County
The county was organized in November 1883 by the Washington Territorial Legislature, carved from the northern part of Yakima County. Indigenous peoples known as Kittitas (or Upper Yakima) occupied the lands along the Yakima River for hundreds of years before the present era. The Kittitas Valley was a traditional gathering place for tribes east of the Cascades. White settlers began pouring into the Kittitas Valley in the late 1850s. Their arrival forced the dislocation and displacement of the native inhabitants, who were eventually forced into the Yakama Indian Reservation. White settlers introduced livestock raising, crop farming, dairying, logging, lumber processing, and mining. The abundant grassland and the generally favorable terrain made beef and cattle production the county's mainstay.
