Thea's history

The history of Seattle is only 150 years, and most of the data and records come from Pioneer Square. 185 1 A group of immigrants came to Seattle from new york, landed near Pioneer Square and camped. These people are regarded as pioneers in Seattle. Therefore, many streets are named after them, such as Danny, Gessler, Bell and Bolen.

The origin of city names

Seattle's name comes from Sealth, an indigenous leader. When the earliest colonists arrived here around 1850, Chief Hills gave them protection and friendship.

Indians who have lived in North America since ancient times have lived a self-sufficient tribal life by hunting and fishing. They are natives of Seattle, but their history is not recorded in the general history of the United States. The pioneers in Seattle, out of respect for this group of Dewamish natives who have lived in Elliot Bay for a long time, directly named the new land of this immigrant land as Chief Sealth, and eventually became Seattle because of some oral misinformation. This is the origin of the name Seattle.

The first white family arrived in 185 1 year, 1 month and1March, and settled in Alkjidian. The town was quickly moved to Elliot Bay and renamed Sils.
