The history of Renton started with land claims next to the Black River where for hundreds of years, the Duwamish Indians had inhabited the area. The last hereditary chief of the Duwamish Indian tribe was named Chief Henry Moses. In the early 1850's, after the white pioneers had arrived, his family faced many changes. In 1900, Chief Moses was born in a rough batten and board shack on a one-acre location, which is the current location of Renton High School. In High School, Henry was a member of the Renton basketball team and was an outstanding athlete. In 1916, his fellow players named their team the Indians, in honor of him, when the school won the championship of the state. Chief Moses, became a respected member of the community and was known for his friendly attitude toward the white pioneers. He saw jet aircraft take off from the land that his family had once prior to 1969, when he died.
Renton was only an open space next to the trail from Seattle a little more than a century ago. The land had long been home to the Duwamish Indian tribe and the Cedar and Black rivers ran through and was framed by densely wooded hills. Duwamish Indian tribe constructed permanent fishing weirs and settlements next to the rivers.
Among the first white pioneers to arrive in the area was a couple Henry and Diana Tobin. They constructed their first home on a donation claim along the banks of the Black and Cedar and Black Rivers in 1853. In 1857, when Mr. Tobin died, Diana married a man named Erasmus Smithers. Mr. Smithers platted the settlement of Renton on a portion of the land that he and his wife had owned.
Mr. Smithers developed the Renton Coal Company, with the financial backing of a Captain named William Renton in 1873. Captain Renton, was one of the founders of the first sawmill, and was a wealthy businessman. His partner was a man named William Talbot, and together they were responsible for the building of the first railroad used in the region.
The year 1901 brought the incorporation of Renton as a town. The first mayor of the community was a doctor who provided care for the minors in the coal mines in Renton, named Dr. Abijah Beach. the first offices in the community were located in Tonkin's General Store, which is the currently the location of Tonkin's Park.
From 1920 through 1930, Renton evolved slowly into an urban hub from a fledgling community. Coal mining and other early industries, such as PACCAR (Pacific Car and Foundry), continued to be an important part of the economy of Renton until the 1930s. Other small businesses were established in order to serve the needs of coal miners and their families. The United States Junk Company opened, and several name changes and relocations later in 1927, and currently named McLendon Hardware.
The Boeing Aircraft Company increased its production of airplanes, which was a turning point for the community, during WW II. The population of Renton was 4,488 people in 1941. However, the construction of the Boeing factory in Renton for the production of the famous B-29's attracted thousands who were looking for employment.
Most of these people continued to reside in Renton, following the end of the war. They have since been taken in by other industries in close by Seattle as well as Renton. The population of Renton remained constant, unlike other war industrial regions.
Renton has a current population of more than 80,000 people and continues to grow. Renton is still home of the Seattle Seahawks training camp, The Landing, PACCAR, and the Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group, in addition to many other service industries and small businesses.
In 2001, Renton celebrated its centennial, along with its strong spirit and rich history. This was a year-long celebration that featured of performances, exhibitions, special activities, and festivities encouraged its residents to imagine the future, celebrate the present, and honor the past.
