Historical Note
The Local Histories are research projects created by students in a
Pacific Lutheran University upper division undergraduate history course on the
West and Northwest. Many of the projects examine the history of a particular
Northwest city or town, while some consider specific issues in a town’s or the
region’s history: Japanese internment during World War II or the history of
municipality’s fire department for example. In addition to the research paper,
many of the files include newspaper clippings, and interview transcriptions
