Marysville is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, United States. The population was 60,020 at the 2010 census. Marysville is known as "The Strawberry City," as it was once surrounded by numerous strawberry farms. The landscape includes Mount Pilchuck, whose high peak can be seen from various points in the city and appears in the city's flag and seal. Since 2000, continuing large residential, commercial, and industrial growth, combined with annexations of territory and people, has transformed this city, increasing its population by about 140% over the 2000 total of slightly more than 25,000. Marysville ranks as the second-largest city in the county after Everett.〔("Marysville population" ), Office of Financial Management, State of Washington, 1 April 2013〕 ==History== (詳細はPoint Elliott Treaty in 1855 between the United States and the Tulalip people to establish a reservation for them and allow settlement of others on their former territory. After the treaty was signed, the local area had opened for settlement. The timber industry quickly moved in, staking several claims during the 1860s in the area that would become Marysville. The loggers and the nearby Tulalip reservation provided ample customers for trade, and in 1872, the federal government authorized a small trading post. James P. Comeford and his wife, Maria, moved to the area after he was appointed proprietor of the trading post by the government. In 1874, Comeford paid $450 for logged timber claims consisting of of land. Four years later, he built a new store with living quarters attached, and a small dock with a plank road called Front Street. Mrs. Comeford began teaching classes to local children and her husband ran the post office, both provided out of their home. Little growth took place in Marysville until the mid-1880s. The first saw mill opened in 1887, followed by three additional mills over the next few years. The railroad was constructed to town in 1889, which was followed by more growth. It connected the timber industry and the area to other markets. Marysville was officially incorporated on March 20, 1891. On December 30, 2009, it annexed property and population, becoming the second largest city in Snohomish County, with a total population of 60,020. 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「Marysville, Washington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
