 History of Peoh Point My name is Hercules de Bolivia. I can share a little history of Peoh Point, where my farm is located. Peoh Point is the area lying directly south of the Yakima River and the town of Cle Elum in Washington. The area was first known as the Iron Mountain district. Settlers built homesteads here as early as 1880 and gradually farms began to appear in the virgin forest, as logs were cut and sold to the local sawmills. In the year of 1913-1914, two ambitious young school teachers, also called schoolma’ams, started an organization known as a Literary society. This society drew the people of the community together. It was during these meetings that the district name of "Peoh Point" came into being. It was named for old Indian Peoh who lived for many years at the foot of the mountain. |
