TACOMA

Tacoma -

Tacoma-Pierce County Convention & Visitor Bureau. Puget Sound Indian tribes, such as the Puyallup and Nisqually, called the Tacoma-Pierce County area home for centuries before the first European explorers arrived. Primarily a hunting-gathering culture, these indigenous people revered the great mountain towering above their valleys. They called the mountain "Tacobet," meaning "Mother of Waters." However, "Tacobet" was interpreted by the white man as "Tahoma," which later became the name of a pioneer city, Tacoma.

Tacoma was shaped by a series of booms and busts that began after Swedish settler Nicholas de Lin started the first business in 1852. De Lin's sawmill was the first major means of employment for the settlers who braved harrowing conditions to reach this area, discovered by Captain James Vancouver in 1792.
