History

Herds of deer wandered at leisure through the tall grass." - James Longmire, October 10th 1853. 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. The first permanent European-American settlers came in 1853 to join the Hudson's Bay Company sheep farmers who were already conducting business in the area. During the Great Depression, the Yelm Irrigation Company was bankrupted by high maintenance costs and an unstructured water distribution plan. Its economic base was further enhanced in the early 1900s when an irrigation company was formed in 1916, making Yelm a center for commercial production of beans, cucumbers, and berries.
