Yakima County is located in the south-central part of Washington state, in the fertile Yakima Valley. Established on January 21, 1865, from a part of the then Walla Walla County, Yakima County initially consisted of present-day Yakima and Kittitas counties. It got its name from the Yakama people, a Native American tribe who have inhabited the region for centuries.
The Yakima Valley played a crucial role in the westward expansion of the United States. The Lewis and Clark expedition, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in the early 1800s, explored and documented the area. Early settlers, including cattle ranchers and gold prospectors, relied heavily on the Oregon Trail and the Yakima River to reach the region.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway in Yakima County stimulated the area's growth and development. Agriculture blossomed due to the construction of several irrigation canals, which transformed the arid land into fertile soil suitable for farming.
Today, Yakima County serves as an essential agricultural hub, primarily known for its production of apples, hops, and wine grapes. A fun fact about Yakima County is that it is nicknamed the "Hop Capital of the World" due to its significant role in hop production. Around 75% of the hops grown in the United States come from the Yakima Valley, making it a vital contributor to the craft beer and brewing industries.
