Located at the confluence of three creeks; amid the rich agricultural soil of Eastern Washington�s Palouse region; Pullman seemed destined to flourish. From its founding in the 1880s; growth was spurred by the discovery of artesian wells; its selection as the location of the State Agricultural College; and the building of rail lines through the town. Pullman; named for railroad car manufacturer George Pullman; became a thriving center of commerce; agriculture; and education. Today Pullman remains a vibrant commercial agricultural center; built upon wheat; peas; and lentils; with a downtown nestled among four hills. Pullman is home to cutting edge technology companies and a major research institution; Washington State University. Its rich heritage in agriculture; education; and technology guarantees its future as a highly successful 21st century city.
