==History==
Sited in then-virgin forest and following the 'if you build it, they will come' ethos predominant in 19th century Western American development, the town of McMurray was platted by a Dr. Marcus Kenyon in 1890 beside right-of-way of the newly constructed Seattle & Lake Shore Railway. It grew around the Atlas lumber mill which harvested the massive fir and cedar trees which dominated the landscape and was incorporated as a town in 1910. At its peak, the community rarely reached a population of 400 people despite the mill works and businesses that served the population. The inhabitants voted to dis-incorporate in 1923 due to difficulty in raising sufficient taxes to finance town operations following the demise of the town's main source of revenue, the lumber mill. The railroad tracks, by that time a branch of the Northern Pacific Railway, were pulled up in 1973. The community then fell into a long, comfortable and quiet existence as an area of scenic home sites around a lake known for trout and bass fishing.
