The Educational Hub of the Palouse

Pullman took shape along the banks of the South Fork Palouse River, where rail lines and fertile hills met opportunity. As Spokane’s interurban and freight routes stretched south, they connected Pullman’s farms and growing college to the wider Inland Empire. The founding of Washington State College in 1890 transformed the town into a center of learning and agricultural innovation, linking education, research, and rural life across the region.
