About Cle Elum, WA

Some assert [ who? ] that the selection of the Stampede Pass was determined by the coal discovery [ clarification needed ]. In the spring of 1886 the railroad engineers under Mr. Virgil Bogue and Mr. Herbert Huson were making their survey through the region with the intent of establishing a station. At the site of the future city, a Northern Pacific Railway station was named Clealum after the Kittitas name Tle-el-Lum (tlielləm), meaning "swift water", referring to the Cle Elum River.
