He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

Hagen A Thesis in the Field of History for a Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 Copyright 2017 Paul B. Hagen Abstract Founded in 1851, Seattle was little more than a rough-and-tumble frontier town at the onset of the Civil War. However, by 1880 the young community had developed into a small, but prosperous city. Not only did the population grow immensely during this time, but the character of the town also changed. By 1880 Seattle was no longer just another western logging town, but rather a civilized metropolitan center. Although the rapid development of Seattle is widely accepted, the connection between it and the Civil War has not been reported. Historical data suggest that the Civil War did influence the development of Seattle. The Civil War caused Seattle’s population to grow through recruitment of unemployed war widows and orphans. These recruits brought New England culture to Seattle, which served as a civilizing force. The Civil War also led to policies that helped Seattle develop in other ways.

  • Queen Anne Historic Context Statement
    QUEEN ANNE HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT Prepared by Florence K. Lentz and Mimi Sheridan For the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Historic Preservation Program and the Queen Anne Historical Society October 2005 The community of Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Pioneer settler Thomas Mercer first called the forested, water-lapped district Eden Hill. By the mid-1880s, the growing suburb had acquired the name Queen Anne Town in reference to its showy domestic architecture. The character of this thoroughly urban neighborhood today is the result of several key influences, both physical and human. Natural features have both encouraged and restrained the development of Queen Anne over time. Waterways at the base of the hill virtually assured adjacent industrial growth from an early date. At the same time, steep topography limited the spread of large-scale commercial and industrial land uses on the hill itself. Instead, the hill became attractive as an early residential suburb because of its spectacular territorial and water views and its relative accessibility to the city. Queen Anne Hill was linked to Seattle by public transit in the late 1880s. Thereafter, streetcar lines fostered rapid platting, intensive residential construction, and the eventual emergence of multifamily housing – all within a brief forty-year period of time. The close-in location and unsurpassed views continue to stabilize the high value of real estate on the hill. Queen Anne’s character has been shaped as much by its human resources as by its physical features. The fact that progressive, well-educated families made the hill their home from the outset has left a lasting legacy.

  • Methodist Pioneers, Founding Fathers of Seattle by Everett W
    Methodist Pioneers, Founding Fathers of Seattle by Everett W. Palmer Presiding Bishop of the Seattle Area, The Methodist Church. ERHAPS no major city in the United States owes quite as Pmuch to Methodist pioneers as Seattle, Washington. Most of its founders were Methodists, as were those who played a dominant role in the early and decisive years of its development. Most, if not all, of the first settlers were Methodists. The &st church established was a Methodist Church. The first school was conducted by the wife of a Methodist minister in the Methodist parsonage. The first uni- versity, now the University of Washington, was founded through the initiative of a Methodist minister supported by a loyal Method- ist laity. And this is but a sample. Let us reverse the calendar a century. It is September 25,1851. A party of three men paddle up to the shore of what is now West Seattle. It is the end of a long journey. Since early April they have traveled, first by wagon train from their homes in Illinois to the Willamette Valley, and from there by foot and Indian canoe to the "Puget Sound country." They have been sent ahead by other mem- bers of their party to explore this region and determine its promise. The oldest of the group is John Low, 31. The other two are David Denny, 19, and Lee Terry, also a teen-ager. A tribe of Indians nearby is busily engaged, fishing for salmon. Their chief, a noble man of regal bearing, strides down the beach to bid them welcome.

PBOSCH, ^SEATTLE, WASH. Insanity in thQ°§|aW!,\)f, Wa^hfegtono^ales^bacte" to the coming of the first wiiite men, more 'fna'ii & century ago. In the first yea£\§Jefi t]fe 'l$§t."century, an American fur trader, ti&med'' Henry,0 was operat­ ing in the region of the Rocky Mountains. In 1808 one of his houses was attacked by Indians who killed all the men connected therewith but one. This one escaped unperceived. In a destitute condition he wandered about for several weeks, suffering greatly. The massacre of his companions, added to his later troubles, affected his mind, the disorder, however, being of harmless character. While in this condi­ tion he fell in with other Indians, in the Snake River country, who took him into their care. All over the continent the Indians regarded de­ ranged persons with superstitious awe and would help and not harm them. Fennimore Cooper and other writers made record of this fact on the At­ lantic seaboard long ago. So it was with these In­ dians and this unfortunate young man. They seemed to think that he was nearer to God than they; that God had specially visited him, and that they must be gentle and good to him. For three years they housed, fed and clothed him, giving him treatment as good as that they themselves enjoyed. In 1810 John Jacob Astor, of New York, as the head of the Pacific Fur Company, sent in two parts an expedition to the Columbia River.

  • Making History Together
    making history together Seattle heritage and cultural organizations providing year-round learning and inspiration at the water’s edge. P. 2 making history together Our beautiful city is fortunate to be defined by many diverse bodies of water. From Puget Sound to Lake Union through the Ship Canal to Lake Washington, from the Duwamish River to our four urban creek systems, these bodies of water in many ways define who we are as a city. They frame our sensibilities and priorities by providing habitat for mammals, fish, birds and insects. For people, they enable us to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and endless beach activities. The development of Lake Union Park realizes a longtime city vision to revisit and present the rich history of the site and its relationship to the water. The Olmsted Brothers, who designed the nucleus of our park system, envisioned a grand urban park at this site. Through our partnerships with Seattle Parks Foundation, The Center for Wooden Boats, the United Indians of All Tribes, Northwest Seaport, South Lake Union Friends and Neighbors (SLUFAN), the Museum of History & Industry, and others, we are able to turn vision into reality. When newcomers first settled at the site, it was the home of the Duwamish people. Imagine their walking paths meandering through the timber, connecting the lake village with Native settlements to the east and west. Soon historic panels at the park will tell the whole history, from the arrival of the settlers through the building of the streetcar to the opening of the Ship Canal to the construction of The Boeing Airplane Company.
