==History==
Stemilt's company history dates back to 1893, when the Mathison family homesteaded on Stemilt Hill near Wenatchee, Washington. The family planted its first of apples, pears and cherries in 1914.
By 1947, Tom Mathison, a third generation farmer, took the lead in the family orchard business. He built a fruit packing house on Stemilt Hill in 1961.〔

In 1975, Mathison built a new packing and storage facility at Olds Station in Wenatchee, which would soon become the new company headquarters. In July 2005, Tom Mathison transferred the company presidency to his grandson, West Mathison. Tom Mathison died in 2008.〔
