Duvall is a city in King County, Washington, United States, located on SR 203, halfway between Monroe and Carnation.〔(About Duvall ) from the city's official website〕 The population consists of 7,464 people as of 2013.〔http://www.duvallwa.gov/aboutduvall.html〕 ==History== The area that became known as Duvall was historically the home of the Snoqualmie and other ancestral Tulalip Native American tribes. Following their relocation under the Treaty of Point Elliott, the area was homesteaded by veterans of the Civil War.〔(Duvall — Thumbnail History ) from the Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History〕 The center of present-day town was located on a hillside homesteaded by Francis and James Duvall, loggers who arrived in 1871.〔 An early milestone in the settlement of Duvall proper was the relocation of the town of Cherry Valley. Around 1909, the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad agreed to move Cherry Valley homes and businesses to Duvall in order to continue the construction of a railroad line along the Snoqualmie River.〔 The newly relocated town, briefly named Cosgrove after Samuel G. Cosgrove, underwent a real estate boom; streets and sidewalks were laid and a train depot was constructed.〔 This was followed by construction of a movie house, a drug store, a new schoolhouse, and several hotels.〔 By 1911, the ''Duvall Citizen'' began publishing regular editions of news events.〔〔(Duvall Newspaper Index ) from the Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History〕 On April 28, 1968, nearly 3,000 fans attended a rock concert at a farm in Duvall where an upright piano was dropped from a helicopter. Performances included Country Joe and the Fish. This concert is well-known to locals as the Piano Drop. This event inspired the Sky River Rock Festival and Lighter Than Air Fair which occurred later that year.〔Walt Crowley, Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995), 110-112, 255.〕 The town of Duvall has experienced a great amount of construction during the period of 2008-2009 with the aim of making the one-road town center more accessible and presentable to tourists. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duvall, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
