The Bonney Lake plateau has a significant role in the early history of Washington Territory. The Naches Trail, a former Native American path, was used by Native Americans, trappers, and explorers. With the establishment of Washington Territory in 1853, there was increased interest in settling the Puget Sound region. The Donation Land Claim Act enticed many new immigrants, including the area's first settlers. The old Naches Trail became known as the Immigrant Road, and the first wagon train crossed the mountains in the fall of 1853, bringing families that became the founders of communities in Western Washington.
The objective of the GBLHS is to discover, preserve, and disseminate knowledge about the history of the Greater Bonney Lake area.
