Airway Heights was founded in 1942 and officially incorporated on June 28, 1955.Growth in the City was spurred by the opening of the&nbsp;Airway Heights Corrections Center&nbsp;by the Washington State Department of Corrections in 1992 and the opening of the&nbsp;Northern Quest Resort &amp; Casino&nbsp;by the&nbsp;Kalispel Indian Tribe&nbsp;in 2000. More recently, with the addition of a new&nbsp;Wal-Mart Supercenter, several new apartment buildings and housing developments, the expansion of the Northern Quest Casino, and the opening of the Spokane Tribe Casino, Airway Heights is continuing to grow. Also, the Spokane County Raceway Park is located in Airway Heights, and features major automobile events, including drag racing, stock car racing, and occasional monster truck shows.

Cheney is a city in&nbsp;Spokane County,&nbsp;Washington,&nbsp;United States. The full-time resident population was 10,590 as of&nbsp;2010 census.[6]&nbsp;Eastern Washington University&nbsp;is located in Cheney. When classes are in session at EWU, the city's population reaches approximately 17,600 people on a temporary basis. The City of Cheney is located in&nbsp;Spokane County&nbsp;and is home to 10,590 residents, according to the 2010 Census. Cheney is proud of its small town nature, which is enhanced by the diverse influence of Eastern Washington University, a public regional university with over 10,000 full-time students. The&nbsp;Seattle Seahawks&nbsp;of the&nbsp;National Football League&nbsp;have held the majority of their summer training camps at&nbsp;EWU, from 1976–1985, and again from 1997 through the 2006 training camp.Cheney developed into the city known today because of its strong ties to education, trail riding, and agriculture. This provided a strong economic base for the community and was the result of a much larger event that took place in the United States. In 1858, the last Native American defense occurred in Eastern Washington. Because isolated Eastern Washington was an area of this Native American unrest during the early part of the territorial period, it was not until the late 1860s and early 1870s that settlers made homes in the area. In the latter part of that decade, settlers attracted by plentiful water and timber and the promise of a railway line made their homes near a group of springs bubbling through a willow copse from the bank where the&nbsp;Burlington Northern&nbsp;depot now stands.

Cheney

The name of the town comes from a&nbsp;Kalispel&nbsp;word,&nbsp;s??ewíle?, meaning 'watersnake' or 'gartersnake'. Alice Sherwood Abrahamson&nbsp;stated that "The name Chewelah comes from the Native American word "S che wee leh", meaning water or garter snake. There was a spring in what is now the southwest end of Chewelah. The old McCreas lived there, and their homestead was called "Sche wee leh ee" for the spring bubbled up there. The motion of the water gave the illusion of snakes moving about in the water." Prior to colonization by European-Americans, Chewelah was home to a&nbsp;band&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Kalispel people. The band was known as the slet?éw?si, meaning "valley people". Originally, the area was called Fool's Prairie, after the Kalispel Indian who left his own tribe because of a dispute. Chewelah and the rest of the&nbsp;Colville River Valley&nbsp;were part of the&nbsp;Colville Indian Reservation&nbsp;from April 9, 1872, when the reservation was created, until July 2, 1872, when a subsequent executive order reduced the size of the reservation. The Chewelah Band of Indians is currently part of the&nbsp;Spokane Tribe.Thomas and Mary Brown moved to the Fool's Prairie in 1859. On May 8, 1872, Thomas Brown received authority to establish a post office named Chewelah. The name was first used in Stevens County Commissioner Journals on May 6, 1872.&nbsp;That post office disbanded on February 23, 1875. In 1879, the post office was reestablished with Major John Simms, Indian Agent, as postmaster.&nbsp;Chewelah was officially incorporated on January 26, 1903.

The area was named for&nbsp;Andrew Colvile, a Hudson's Bay Company governor. The fort continued to be used for some time as a center of mining and transportation/supply support associated with gold rushes in the 1850s, particularly the&nbsp;Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. After it was abandoned in 1870, some buildings stood until as late as 1910. The site was flooded by&nbsp;Lake Roosevelt&nbsp;after construction of the&nbsp;Grand Coulee Dam&nbsp;on the Columbia River.Americans also wanted to operate in this territory. In the first half of the 19th century, the&nbsp;Oregon boundary dispute&nbsp;(or Oregon question) arose as a result of competing British and American claims to the Pacific Northwest. It was settled by the&nbsp;Oregon Treaty&nbsp;of 1846, which set the new boundary between Canada and the United States at the&nbsp;49th Parallel, about Forty (40) miles to the north.In 1859, the U.S. Army established a new&nbsp;Fort Colville&nbsp;at&nbsp;Pinkney City, Washington, about 3 miles NE of the current city of Colville. That fort was abandoned in 1882. In late 1871, with the resolution of&nbsp;Hudson's Bay Company&nbsp;land claims, Governor&nbsp;Edward Selig Salomon&nbsp;directed John Wynne to accept those lands which extended south to Orin-Rice Road, including some currently part of the City of Colville.[8]&nbsp;With the planned closure of Fort Colville, businesses and buildings moved to the present location in the Colville River Valley prior to 1882. In January 1883, W. F. Hooker filed the first plat in Stevens County with the name "Belmont"&nbsp;or "Bellmond"&nbsp;He was encouraged to change the plat name to Colville so that the county seat could be moved to this location. On December 28, 1883, the Stevens County Board of County Commissioners, including county commissioner John U. Hofstetter, held a special session regarding the removal of county records to Belmont from the county seat of Colville, formerly called Pinkney City. In that meeting, commissioners allowed moving the county seat and jail to the town with the name of Colville, if proprietors provided a block of land for them without cost. County officers were allowed to move into a building owned by John U. Hofstetter for two years. On January 1, 1884, the Stevens County courthouse moved to Colville.&nbsp;City tradition says that Colville was founded by&nbsp;John U. Hofstetter.&nbsp;It was officially incorporated as a city on June 7, 1890.

Davenport was first settled in 1880, and was named in 1882 for resident J.C. Davenport. The city was made the&nbsp;county seat&nbsp;of Lincoln County on December 15, 1896, after an election that had chosen Davenport over then-seat&nbsp;Sprague, which had been destroyed in a fire, and Harrington.Davenport was officially incorporated on June 9, 1890. Davenport gained early prominence in the north central part of the&nbsp;Columbia Basin&nbsp;of eastern Washington, with its citizens successfully lobbying to receive the&nbsp;Seattle Lake Shore &amp; Eastern Railway&nbsp;(SLS&amp;E) in 1889 in place of rival Wheatdale. The transcontinental&nbsp;Northern Pacific Railway&nbsp;(NP) established a subsidiary, the Central Washington Railroad (CW), to build a competing railroad line that reached Davenport in February 1889. A branch line of the&nbsp;Great Northern Railway&nbsp;(GN) was built to Davenport from Bluestem in the 1920s.Davenport is centrally located in the northern wheat belt of the Columbia Basin, where&nbsp;dryland wheat farming&nbsp;on the hills not washed away in the great&nbsp;Missoula Floods&nbsp;some 14,000 years ago, is critical to the agricultural economy of the region. Davenport Union Warehouse and Odessa Union Warehouse operate multiple&nbsp;elevators&nbsp;of varying age and design on the southern part of the city. A few of these structures date to the early days of the city. Davenport still serves as a central collection point for&nbsp;wheat, with most of it shipped out by truck or railcar. While most of the wheat goes to&nbsp;export, some of it does find its way to the&nbsp;ADM&nbsp;flour mills&nbsp;in&nbsp;Spokane&nbsp;and&nbsp;Cheney. Locally grown&nbsp;barley&nbsp;also finds its way to various west coast&nbsp;breweries&nbsp;and other users.Primary State Highway #2&nbsp;(a.k.a. "Sunset Highway") closely followed the CW railroad from Coulee City through Davenport to Spokane. The route is now known as&nbsp;U.S. Route 2, but does not follow the original Sunset Highway in many places.&nbsp;Primary State Highway #7&nbsp;also intersected with&nbsp;PSH #2&nbsp;in Davenport, and is now part of&nbsp;State Route 28.&nbsp;PSH #22&nbsp;ran north from Davenport to the Canada–US border near Northport. This is&nbsp;State Route 25&nbsp;now.

North of&nbsp;Spokane, the city of Deer Park was officially incorporated 113&nbsp;years ago on June 24, 1908. Deer Park got its name when railroad surveyors saw deer grazing in the area. It was settled in 1889 when a&nbsp;railroad siding&nbsp;was built for the&nbsp;Spokane Falls &amp; Northern Railway. Soon the Standard Lumber Company sawmill was established by William Short and George Crawford to provide the lumber needed to rebuild the nearby city of Spokane Falls (later renamed&nbsp;Spokane) following the great fire of 1889. By 1900 the population of Deer Park was approximately 300 residents. In addition to the sawmill, the community consisted of three general stores (owned separately by P. Kelly, Dan Weis, and A. Baldwin), a blacksmith and harness shop, a&nbsp;livery&nbsp;and feed stable, Jeff Moore's hotel, Dr. Prince's drug store, a public school with approximately 75 students, and a&nbsp;Congregational church&nbsp;led by Rev. F. McConaughy. By this time there were as many as eight sawmills within ten miles of Deer Park, all of which got their supplies in, and employed residents of, the town.Arcadia Apple Orchards Company was established around 1906, and orchards of apple trees were planted on the land surrounding Deer Park which had been cleared by the logging activity.The municipal airport east of the city was built during&nbsp;World War II&nbsp;and dedicated 77&nbsp;years ago in August 1944 with three paved runways, all at 6,100 feet (1,860&nbsp;m) in length. During the early 1960s,&nbsp;an&nbsp;Atlas&nbsp;missile site (567-1) near the airport was operated by the&nbsp;567th Strategic Missile Squadron&nbsp;of&nbsp;Fairchild AFB. Soon obsolete, the site was decommissioned in 1965 and sold for salvage in 1967.

Hillyard&nbsp;is a neighborhood in&nbsp;Spokane, Washington&nbsp;which existed as a separate town between 1892 and 1924.The town came about due to the&nbsp;Great Northern Railway&nbsp;and was named for&nbsp;James J. Hill, then-head of the railroad. Between 1904 and 1912, many of the town's houses were built, to house railroad workers working in the local&nbsp;yard. Hillyard was the home of the Great Northern's famed shops where&nbsp;locomotives&nbsp;were manufactured, repaired, and refurbished. At the time, the Hillyard shop was the largest in the nation.Hillyard continues as a neighborhood of Spokane in which residents take pride. A Hillyard Festival is held every year in August, and the preservation of historic buildings is a local concern. Murals and a small railroad museum celebrate the town's history. Many of the neighborhood's residents are descended from the railroad workers who started the town, but Hillyard is recently becoming a popular home for immigrants of&nbsp;Russian,&nbsp;Ukrainian,&nbsp;Micronesian, and&nbsp;Southeast Asian&nbsp;descent. The downtown Hillyard business district, located on Market Street, has become Spokane's first neighborhood to be listed in the&nbsp;National Register of Historic Places. According to Teresa Brum, Spokane's Historic Preservation Officer in charge of the project to have Hillyard listed on the National Register: "This is the most architecturally intact neighborhood left in Spokane. Most of it looks as it did 90 years ago."
