History

Colfax is the county seat of Whitman County, Washington County, Washington, United States.

Palus (tribe) Indians were the first known human inhabitants of the Colfax area. Originally, pioneer citizen James Perkin called the settlement "Belleville" in honor of his girlfriend; when he found a new love, he changed the town's name to Colfax. White settlers arrived in the summer of 1870, and soon built a sawmill. Until passed by Pullman at the 1930 United States Census census, Colfax was the largest city in the county. A flour mill and other businesses followed, and Colfax soon grew into a prosperous town.
