InfoFor many generations the area now known as Olympia was a favorite shellfish gathering site for Coastal Salish tribes, including the Nisqually, Duwamish and Squaxin.

In 1850, the town of Olympia was platted by the first american settler, Edmund Sylvester. The Maine native laid out a New England style community with a town square, tree lined streets, land for schools, and a Masonic Hall.

The name of Olympia was selected by Isaac N. Ebey, a local resident, in honor of the majestic Olympic mountains visible to the north on a clear day.
