During the Great Depression, the Yelm Irrigation Company was bankrupted by high maintenance costs and an unstructured water distribution plan. The Yelm Prairie was originally inhabited by members of the Nisqually (tribe) Indian Tribe and provided good pasture for their horses. The current mayor is Ron Harding. Present day Yelm is a bedroom community for residents working in the surrounding cities of Tacoma, Washington Olympia, Washington and Centralia, Washington Yelm also hosts a large number of military families who are currently or were formerly stationed at nearby Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base. James Longmire, one of the first American settlers had this to say upon arriving in Yelm: "Having received due notice from the Hudson Bay company not to settle on any lands north of the Nisqually River we crossed the river and went to Yelm prairie, a beautiful spot.
