The Issaquah region was first known as Squak, which is a Native Indian name that refers to the squawks and calls that several different water birds make, when they are located the creeks, swamps, and boggy land in the valley. Squak was renamed to Gilman several years later in honor of the man who was responsible for bringing the railroad into the region, named Daniel Gilman. The year 1892 brought the incorporation to Gilman. The State Legislator of Washington renamed Gilman to Issaquah in 1899.
During its long history, Issaquah, Washington has experienced two periods of rapid growth. The community is located next to I-90 just east of Lake Washington. The first growth period came in the late 1800's, when dairy industries, hop growing, lumber and the coal mining industry fueled the local economy. The community became relatively dormant in the middle 1900's. Then, once again Issaquah experienced extensive development. The community was the fastest growing community in Washington State, in 2003.
Many years prior to and white pioneers arrived in the area, native Inhabited the Squak Valley. During the 1860's, when the first pioneers arrived, the relations with the Sammamish and Snoqualmie Indian tribes were primarily mostly peaceable. An elderly Indian woman named Mary Louie, befriended many of the early pioneers and even taught their children some of the customs of her people.
The land was rich and simply ideal for growing crops, such as hops. The local Indians were employed to help with the farms. However, on one occasion, the clash of cultures created trouble. During a period of unrest throughout Puget Sound, in 1864, two Snohomish Indians that worked for them, killed a couple named William and Abigail Casto. Another man who was killed, named John Halstead, was a housemate of Mr. and Mrs. Casto was also killed. Another Indian in the camp wound up killing the assailants. However, many of the pioneers who were residing in the valley left the area for Seattle.
The mountains that surrounded Squak contained large deposits of coal, in addition to the fertile farmland in the valley. In 1887, when the Eastern, Lake Shore, and Seattle railroad arrived, it became profitable coal.
Hop farming was the primary industry for residents of Squak Valley until that time. Unrest with Native Indians had decreased significantly y the 1880's. In the fields, many Indians worked alongside the white pioneers. out in the fields. The Wold brothers hired some 37 Chinese workers to pick hops at a less expensive cost in 1885. The Indian and pioneer hop pickers insisted that they leave. Then, three of the Chinese workers were murdered by other workers when the Chinese didn't leave.
The remainder of the Chinese workers left quickly. Although the murderers were acquitted, arrests were made. In addition, when a Justice of the Peace named George Tibbetts refused to help in the protection of the Chinese on their way to the Wold farm he was also charged as being an accessory, although nothing ever came of these charges.
The mining of coal started in earnest in 1887 with the arrival of the railroad. The small valley community enjoyed some rapid growth. Numerous men, many of them being immigrants, relocated to the region to look for work. Many of the miners had saved sufficient money that were able to send for their families, although the conditions in the mine were quite harsh.
There were also numerous jobs at many different lumber camps for those men who didn't want to work underground. Businesses were established as the result of so many people relocating to the valley The first entrepreneur in the community was George Tibbetts. Mr. Tibbetts opened a stagecoach line, a hotel, and a retail store.
In 1888, the community was platted. The year 1892 brought the incorporation of the community with the name of Gilman. In 1899, the name Gilman was changed to Issaquah.
Much of the hop crop was destroyed by hop aphids during the 1890's. However, there was another industry that Issaquah could depend on. Lumber and sawmill r companies cleared the majority of the trees in the valley, which yielded some fine pasture land. In 1909, the Northwest Milk Condensing Company opened, and it wasn't long before Issaquah became one of the largest milk suppliers to Seattle.
All throughout the 1910's, larger and more modern mines were developed and coal mining continued. The Issaquah and Superior Coal Mine, was financed by investors from Germany. However, the mine soon had money troubles, at the start of WW I, when their support ended. However, other mines were prospering.
Both Issaquah as well as the logging industry also continued to grow. Much the same as any community that is booming, there were tobacco shops, liquor stores, saloons, and hotels everywhere, However, the rough and tumble community was also being domesticated, and residents had access to banks schools, indoor plumbing, and telephones by 1920.
As fuel became increasingly popular way to heat homes, during the 1920's, the coal industry began dying out. In 1929, when the Great Depression started, the logging industry was hit hard. Although the boom days for Issaquah were over, the dairy farms continued to be prosperous. There wasn't much change in Issaquah for the next four decades. The population of the community was about 900 people.
