==History==
In 1940, it was described as "Fife...at a valley crossroads in the midst of a thickly settled berry growing and truck-gardening district is represented by a string of markets, taverns, shops, and a large, balloon-roofed dance hall along the highway." The 1940 population was 135.〔''Washington - A guide to the Evergreen State'', WPA American Guide Series, Washington State Historical Society, 1941〕 Fife was officially incorporated on February 11, 1957.
Due to the increased traffic volume traveling from Puyallup, Washington and Tacoma, Fife felt the need to establish itself as autonomous community, not just as an intermediate area between Interstate 5 (I-5) and State Route 167.
Fife may have been named for William J. Fife, a prominent Tacoma lawyer, Yukon prospector, once head of the Washington National Guard, and a Lieutenant Colonel in the field during the Philippine Insurrection.〔''Downtown Tacoma'' Caroline Denyer Gallacci and Ron Karabaich.
