Founders of Seattle, Washington
The founding of Seattle is usually dated from the arrival of the Denny Party on November 13, 1851, at Alki Point. The group had travelled overland from the Midwest to Portland, Oregon, then made a short ocean journey up the Pacific coast into Puget Sound, with the express intent of founding a town. The next April, Arthur A. Denny abandoned the original site at Alki in favor of a better-protected site on Elliott Bay, near the south end of what is now downtown Seattle. Around the same time, Doc Maynard began settling the land immediately south of Denny's. The first plats in Seattle were filed May 28, 1853, and Seattle was incorporated as a town in 1867, by which time it had 350 inhabitants. Credit:Wikipedia, "History of Seattle before 1900"
Denny Party: Arthur A. Denny, his wife Mary, and children; David T. Denny; Carson D. Boren, his wife Mary, their daughter, and Carson's younger sister Louisa; William N. Bell, his wife Sarah, and children; John Low, his wife Lydia, and children; Lee Terry; Charles Terry.
Additional Settlers by 1852: Dr. David S. "Doc" Maynard (1808-1873); Henry Yesler (1810-1892); Luther Collins (1813-1860), Henry Van Asselt, and Jacob and Samuel Maple.
