Local
History
IN THE BEGINING, there was the
forest. It covered all the land with a thick stand of fire, hemlock,
cedar, pine, alder and other trees. The undergrowth of salal, huckleberry,
ferns and other brush was nearly impenetrable. It came to the shores
of the water, where the miles of shoreline and turning inlets gave
access to its deepest corners. David Shelton was the first to choose a tract of level ground
in the half-mile wide Cota Valley, where a small stream drained
into a narrow arm of Puget Sound about 20 miles northwest of
Olympia in the new Washington Territory. Shelton was officially incorporated on January
22, 1889. The economy
was largely built around the logging industry. The Simpson
Timber mill on Puget
Sound's Oakland
Bay dominates the landscape of the downtown area. Shelton
also identifies itself as the "Christmas Tree Capitol". |
