Experience the exciting and interesting history
of Walla Walla.
The name Walla Walla is of Indian origin and means
"many waters". Both the Cayuse and Walla Walla tribes called the Walla Walla Valley home.
In the 1800s, fur traders established a settlements
trading post and fort in the area. The historic
Nez Perce Trail was located where Main Street is
today. The historic Lewis & Clark expedition skirted
the northern and western boundaries of the Walla
Walla Valley in 1805. Their return trip from the
Pacific Ocean in 1806 took them through present
day Walla Walla County.
In 1836, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman traveled what became the Oregon Trail, and founded a mission amongst the
Cayuse Indians. After 11 years, the mission effort
ended when the Cayuse attacked and killed the Whitmans
and twelve others.
By the 1860's Walla Walla experienced the effects
of the gold rush with commercial, banking, and manufacturing
activities, making it the largest city in Washington
Territory. Walla Walla became home to the first
commercial bank in the northwest, the first college
in the region, and has the oldest, continuous symphony
west of the Mississippi River. Following the gold
rush, farming became the economic force behind the
community and continues as one today.
Relive the history of the valley and participate
in its cultural offerings.

| Whitman Mission National Historic Site |
| |
| Details: | Located seven miles west of Walla Walla on Highway 12, the mission was built in 1836 by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman. After more than a decade of living and working with the Cayuse Indians, the Whitman's mission effort ended in violence as a band of indians killed the Whitmans and 11 others. The massacre sparked a war between the Cayuse and area settlers from the Willamette and Lower Columbia Valleys and eventually led to the creation of the Oregon Territory in 1848. Demonstrations replicating pioneer and Cayuse life in the 1840s are staged each weekend. |
