History
Tacoma is a city located in the state of Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The area that is now Tacoma was originally inhabited by several Native American tribes, including the Puyallup, Nisqually, and Squaxin Island tribes.
In 1852, a trading post was established in the area by a man named Job Carr, and other settlers soon followed. The town of Tacoma was officially incorporated in 1875, and by the late 1800s, it had become a major center for the lumber industry, with several sawmills and shipping ports located in the area.
