Marysville, Washington was first established as a small town in 1891 and incorporated in the same year by its founder James P. Comeford. The city has grown, partly by annexing nearby communities, to a total of 25,315 people in 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American FactFinders-Marysville, Washington )〕 Over 100 years of historic events, annexations, foundations, and more created the city that is known today as Marysville. ==Pre-incorporation (1855–1890)== The history of settlement by European Americans in Marysville starts on January 22, 1855, when the Tulalip Indians and other Indian tribes signed the Point Elliot Treaty with Washington's territorial governor, Issac Stevens at Point Elliot, now known as Mukilteo. The treaty stated that the Tulalip Indians had to live, fish, and hunt on the Tulalip Indian Reservation, west of present-day Marysville. This opened up a large area for loggers and settlers to settle the land. Washington established a government trading post outside of the Tulalip Reservation in current-day Marysville in 1872. The government of Washington Territory hired James and Maria Comeford to be the proprietors of the post. Later, in 1874, James Comeford paid US$450 for a land claim of that would become Downtown Marysville. There were barely any settlers in the Marysville area until a sawmill opened in 1887. In 1888, in response to the settlers, the Comefords opened a store, with living quarters (hotel), and a plank road that connected to the dock. They called the plank street Front Street, which is now 1st Street. Later on, Maria Comeford started teaching local children in her home and James Comeford set up a post office. Later, in 1889, Washington became a state and Marysville became a stop on the Great Northern Railroad that ran from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to Portland, Oregon. This gave the town enough people to become an incorporated city. 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「History of Marysville, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
