The area that is now University Place was originally inhabited by the Puyallup Tribe of Native Americans. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the 1850s, and the area was platted in 1883. The area was originally known as "University Place" due to its proximity to the University of Puget Sound, which was founded in 1888.
