108- Mansfield in the Big Bend Country
Manage episode 374475636 series 2967248
In what was originally known as the Big Bend Country, Mansfield is located on a plateau in the center of the Central Washington wheatlands. The town was founded in 1889 and was given the name Mansfield after Robert E. Darling, who settled there in 1900.
Mansfield was first served by a train, the Mansfield Branch Line, in 1909, and became a city in 1911. However, Mansfield's prosperity did not last. Fires in 1914 and 1922, a drought in 1917, and the Great Depression all had a lasting impact on the boomtown, despite the resilience of its residents.
