Goldendale Summary

History

The area now known as Goldendale, Washington was first inhabited by the Klickitat tribe of Native Americans. The Klickitat were a semi-nomadic people who lived in the area for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers. The first recorded European exploration of the area was in 1805, when Lewis and Clark passed through on their expedition.
In 1847, the first permanent settlers arrived in the area. These settlers were mostly miners and farmers who were drawn to the area by the promise of gold. The town of Goldendale was officially founded in 1859, and the first post office was established in 1860.
The town quickly grew, and by the late 1800s, it had become a bustling center of commerce and industry. The town was home to several gold mines, as well as a number of businesses, including a flour mill, a sawmill, and a brickyard.
In the early 1900s, the town began to decline as the gold mines began to run dry. The town’s population dwindled, and many of the businesses closed. However, the town was able to survive due to its location on the Columbia River, which provided a steady source of income from shipping and transportation.
In the 1950s, the town began to experience a resurgence. The construction of the John Day Dam on the Columbia River provided a new source of income for the town, and the population began to grow again.
Today, Goldendale is a small but vibrant town. It is home to a number of businesses, including a winery, a brewery, and a distillery. The town is also home to a number of historic sites, including the Goldendale Observatory and the Goldendale Pioneer Cemetery.
