The community of Renton has been a manufacturing hub for the Pacific northwest for over 100 years. Renton is located next to the shores of Lake Washington some 15 miles southeast of Seattle. During the past years, the community has been the center of several transportation corridors, that include skyways, railroads, highways, and rivers.
At the current location of Renton, the Duwamish Indians had a settlement close to the confluence of the Cedar and Black Rivers, long before white pioneers arrived in the region. While the Black river carried the runoff into the White River, the Cedar River flowed into Lake Washington from the southeast. The White and Black Rivers merge into the Duwamish River, which flows northwards towards Seattle. Human engineering would change this configuration sometime later. However, that time the rivers were important avenues and resources for commerce.
A man named Henry Tobin was paddling up the Duwamish River in 1853, and staked a claim when he saw the meeting place of the waters. Access to the lake offered many different types of business opportunities and the running waters were an ideal location for a mill.
A man named R. Bigelow relocated right next to Mr. Tobin and discovered a seam of coal on his land. Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Tobin became business partners after constructing a mill to provide timber for the coal mines.
Having never seen a mill before the Indians were, at first, were fascinated with it. However, the influx of white pioneers into the area soon created havoc with the way of life for the Indians. In what came to be known as the Indian Wars, some Indian tribes tried fighting back. However, in 1855, this only lasted for only a few months and ended with the resettlement of all of the Indians within the territory.
The white pioneers were driven away and the mill was burned down, during this short war. Mr. Bigelow elected to relocate elsewhere, after some Indian warriors, who were located in the Cascade Mountains killed some of the backers of Mr. Tobin, and he passed away due to ill health. Somebody else would have to make his dreams come true.
A landowner named Erasmus Smithers met the widow of Mr. Tobin, named Diana, in 1857who still owned the patent on her husband's claim. They soon fell in love and married, and between them wound up owning almost 500 acres of property. More white pioneers started relocation into the region, and Mr. Smithers filed the first platted property for the community of Renton in 1875.
A man who had established the Renton Cole Company sometime earlier, named Captain William Renton was the namesake of the community. Captain Renton had bought the mine from Mr. Smithers and had the financial backing to expand it even further.
There were other coal mines in the mountains and hills east of Renton. However, access to the rivers and the lake permitted Renton to become the center of the local coal industry. This hub of activity developed the requirement for better transportation routes, and one of the first outlying communities to be connected by road to Seattle was Renton. Renton was also the center of railroad activity, by the end of the 1800's.
Renton was also a commercial hub as the result of the productive agricultural land in the river valleys. Other industries included lumber mills, a glass making facility, a cigar factory, and tile and brick plants. Renton was a prosperous community in several ways, by the early 1900's.
The year 1901 brought the incorporation of Renton as a town. Sometime earlier, as the result of heavy industry. the community was known as being a rough-and-tumble town. There were no churches and nine saloons in 1885. The result of incorporating was a more civilized and organized community, which has a bank, newspapers, schools, and churches by 1910. Additional lumber companies, an icehouse, and a bottle factory had also been constructed.
In 1916, Renton experienced a topographical change. In Seattle, that year, the Montlake Cut was finished for the canal between Lake Union and Lake Washington. The water level in Lake Washington decreased by approximately nine feet, as the waters merged. The result was that the Black River dried up, and was never seen again.
Although the future of Renton was still bright, coal mining began to decrease, by this time. Not only was the Interurban train permitting Renton to provide a bedroom community for the workers in Seattle workers and their families, but also, there were other businesses in the community, that included PACCAR (Pacific Car and Foundry. The roads were continually being improved. Renton even experience moderate growth, even throughout the Great Depression.
In 1941, the Boeing Airplane Company relocated to Renton. In Renton, the Boeing factory was producing B-29's at a rate of six each day, during WW II. PACCAR was producing 30 Sherman Tanks each month during this same time. Women did much of this work, because the majority of the men had gone off to fight the war.
Following the end of the war, the men returned home and took back the jobs that women had held during the war. Although this slowdown was only temporary, much of the military work was gone. Within a few years, Boeing would start the development of jet transportation, meanwhile, federal funding was provided to Renton with millions of dollars toward infrastructure work, street repairs, and housing. Renton was ready to meet the challenge, by the time Boeing entered the jet age.
These days, other industries including Boeing are still pumping millions of dollars into the local economy. During the past century, Renton has transformed from a confluence of waterways to a center of rails and roads and beyond into the skies.
