The native Indians, who called this region Squak, were the earliest known inhabitants of this region. The actual meaning of the name isn't known. Regardless, of what the name means, Squak is currently lending its name to both the community as well as one of the close by mountains.
During the 1880's, the first early pioneers arrived in the area. The settlement mainly grew hops for the Seattle breweries, which are located close by. By 1889, the community had its own railway depot and was growing steadily. This occurred two years after the Seattle, Lake Shore, and Eastern Railroad companies arrived from close by and it profitable to mine coal.
The incorporation of the community as a town occurred in 1892, and the name that was used was Gilman. During the first decade that it existed as a town, it mainly functioned by providing support for the operation of the coal mine.
Much the same as other mining communities, the large influx of people and workers to support them resulted in a thriving community. For the residents of Gilman, mining would be the base for the economy and would remain an important source of work, for many years in the future. In 1899, the name of the town of Gilman was changed to Issaquah during this period.
The region that was around Issaquah was also perfect for the lumber industry. It was a prime location for the development of a sawmill as the result of the extensive forestation in the region. Companies exported the lumber to Seattle via the railway system.
There was an interesting side effect on the community that was created by the lumber industry, which was the creation of clear, rich land that was ready for farming. The hops industry was destroyed by a rampant plague of hop aphids. However, the same land was soon used for dairy farming. Issaquah became the primary supplier of fresh milk to the community of Seattle by the early 1900's.
The final blow to the mining and lumber industries came with the advent of the Great Depression, during the 1930's. Not many pioneers where buying what was being produced, the forest had been cleared, and the mines dried up.
The boom was over for Issaquah, and the community settled down into the quiet life of a farming community with a population that was relatively stable. During the depression, one of the construction projects that was government supported was the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, which is currently one of the most visited and largest in Washington.
The opening of the Floating bridge across Lake Washington was represented that the modern era for Issaquah was born. Helping this, during the early 1970's, was the construction of Interstate-90. Thereafter, the connection between Seattle and Issaquah, in addition to locations to the east produced considerably more traffic. Issaquah became a natural location for new development, as the size of the suburbs in Seattle increased
There is some danger of losing the memory of the very American and hardworking story about birth of Issaquah with such companies as Boeing and Costco were moving to Issaquah. Also, the real estate market was attracting all different kinds of people. Issaquah. However, organizations that include the Issaquah Historical Society, and the Issaquah History Museums share the story of the community with the rest of the world.
Older members of Issaquah may remember its community by another name and known as Squak Valley. This name was given to the area when the Native Indians first came to the area during the middle 1800's. White settlers moved into Issaquah later in the century and found themselves in an area already inhabited by Native Americans. Relations were amicable, however, and an elderly Indian woman by the name of Mary Louie was the link between the communities, as she would talk to and become friends with the white settlers and if they were open to it, would teach their children the ways of her people.
Coal mining was the first major industry that ran rampant through the community as workers started servicing the Cougar and Squak mountains for income. Agriculture had replaced coal mining by the end of the decade. This took place after deposits started being depleted. When a prominent local family elected to allow Native Indians and white pioneers even teamed up together, in an early stand for a human rights protest when a prominent local family elected to allow Chinese immigrants to handle farming work at a less expensive cost. By the 1940's, lumbering and mining started fading.
History will dictate that if Issaquah had any downward spiral, it was Great Depression. With many people unemployed and businesses going broke, the only sustainable work that was left was dairy farming. As the result of this lack of opportunity, the population of Issaquah was about some 900 people between 1930 and 1970. Many of the resident enjoyed the relative quiet although work was scarce. The residents started additional community activism, as the region seem to be determined to simply work through this period.
