==History==
Sultan was originally settled around 1880, but not officially incorporated until June 28, 1905. Both the Sultan River and the town of Sultan were named by prospectors for the chief of a Snohomish sub-tribe who lived on the Skykomish River in the 1870s. His name as Tsul-tad or Tseul-tud, which was anglicized by the miners into Sultan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Tacoma Public Library )〕 For generations Sultan remained a small logging community.
In 1968, the town was visited by more than 20,000 hippies during The Sky River Rock Festival and Lighter Than Air Fair, one of the first outdoor rock festivals.〔(Sky River poster. SKY RIVER ROCK FESTIVAL AND LIGHTER THAN AIR FAIR - III ). The Sky River Story〕 The event took place on a farm near town. The line-up included Santana, Grateful Dead, Country Joe McDonald, Muddy Waters, Buffy St. Marie, guitarist John Fahey, and many others. Also on hand was the young comedian Richard Pryor.〔(WA, Seattle area Pinback 1968 SKY RIVER Rock Festival ). WorthPoint Worthopedia - Premier Price Guide. Accessed: 2010-05-28.〕
