This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of Thurston County, Washington: Together With Biographies and Reminiscences of Those Identified With Pioneer Days Edmund Sylvester, who by the death of his partner, had become sole owner of the claim they had located at the head of Budd's Inlet, in 1850, laid off the claim as a town site and named it Olympia. The name suggests the idea that even in this remote region with rude environments, there were those conversant with the classics. The name was bestowed by Charles H. Smith, who together with Mr. Simmons, had that year established a store in the new settlement, at the corner of Main and Second Streets. The name was doubtless sug gested by the beautiful views spread out before them at the head of the Sound, where to the North the Olympic Range was visible and to the East old Rainier reared his majestic head.
