History

The current Fort Walla Walla contains these buildings, albeit in a different location from the original, as well as a museum about the early settlers' lives. The Walla Walla River, where it adjoins the Columbia River, was the starting point for the Mullan Road, constructed between 1859 and 1860 by US Army Lieut. John Mullen, connecting the head of navigation on the Columbia at Walla Walla (i.e., the west coast of the US) with the head of navigation on the Missouri River (that is, the east and gulf coasts of the US) at Fort Benton, Montana. The population was 29,686 at the 2000 United States Census census and 31,350 from the 2008 estimate of the Washington State Office of Financial Management. Following this period of rapid growth, agriculture became the city's primary industry.
