Entiat, Washington
Entiat /ˈɛn(t)iˌæt/ is a city in Chelan County, Washington, United States. It is part of the Wenatchee−East Wenatchee Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,326 at the 2020 census.
The name "Entiat" refers to the indigenous Entiat people, whose name comes from the Moses-Columbian Salishan word /nt'yátkʷ/, [nt'iátkʷ], "place of grassy water", from /na-/, "place", /st'íyaʔ/, "tall grass, hay", and /-atkʷ/, "water".
Columbia River Chinook Indians settled the Entiat Valley in the 1800s. Chief Shil-how-Saskt (Silico Saska) selected the congruence of the Columbia and Entiat rivers as the place for his camp.
The Albert Long Museum in Entiat opened in 1980, in one of only two buildings (built 1895) that survived the opening of Rocky Reach Dam. It houses historical items from local logging and fruit industries.
In 1877, Lewis Detwiler, the first white settler, arrived in the Entiat Valley. In the late 1880s settlers and their children learned Chinook Jargon to communicate with the indigenous population. Local historian Lindley Hull noted that many of the town's schoolchildren would speak in Chinook to one another in the late 1880s and early 1890s. In 1896, Chief Silico Saska sold the town site of Entiat. He died in 1903.
This first town site was located approx. half a mile west of the Columbia River, on Entiat River's north side. The first public school was established in Entiat in 1891. In 1895 the first Entiat Post Office was established. The Entiat Power Plant opened for business in 1908. The Keystone Fruit Company opened for business in the valley in 1910. E.P. Murphy began publishing the Entiat Times in 1913, and railroad service began in Entiat in 1914. In 1915 only six businesses survived a fire. The Entiat school opened in 1916 in its current location.
In 1921 a new fire razed First Town, and the second town site of Entiat was secured.
In 1920, the tradition of Numeral Mountain began as High School seniors painted their graduation class number on the Mountainside across the Entiat River from the school. Entiat was officially incorporated on April 25, 1944.
