History

Later, when the area north of the Columbia became part of US Territory, white settlers petitioned Congress to grant Bush title to his land, which was approved. It lies near where the Deschutes River (Washington) River enters Budd Inlet, the southernmost point of Puget Sound. Tumwater is a city in Thurston County, Washington County, Washington, United States. A major factor driving the Simmons-Bush Party to locate north of the Columbia River beyond Oregon Territory is that the American settlers in Oregon prohibited settlement by non-whites to avoid the contentious slavery issue. Thurston County, which includes the cities of Lacey, Washington Olympia, Washington and Tumwater, has a population of 224,100.

Tumwater was founded next to the falls of the Deschutes River (Washington) River at the south end of Puget Sound as New Market in 1846 by a group of pioneers led by Michael Simmons and George Washington Bush Bush.
