Krupp is a town in Grant County, Washington, United States. The population was 48 at the 2010 census. Although legally incorporated as Krupp, the town is more commonly known as Marlin, which is the name of its post office. Elections are held there under the name of Marlin, Washington, and they are the same locale. Krupp has the lowest population of any incorporated municipality in Washington. ==History== First settled in 1871 by John Marlin, Krupp incorporated on January 7, 1911. The name of the post office was changed from Krupp to Marlin during World War I in order to avoid negative associations with a large, well-known munitions plant in Germany. To this day, Krupp is known primarily by the name of its post office, rather than its official name; something of a town "nickname" if you will. In the summer of 1971 a three-day rock festival, "Sunrise '71," was scheduled to take place immediately south of town, but was shut down by county authorities. It was to be on the scale of Woodstock. 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「Krupp, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
