History
Before Tumwater received its current name, it was known as Bush Prairie after the founding settler George Washington Bush. He was a former slave and later cattle rancher and father of William Owen Bush. Tumwater was founded next to the falls of the Deschutes River at the south end of Puget Sound as New Market in 1846 by a group of pioneers led by Michael Simmons, making it the first United States settlement on the Puget Sound. The name was changed to Tumwater after a Chinook Jargon word meaning "Tumbling Water". Tumwater was officially incorporated on November 12, 1875.
