About Cheney, Washington
Cheney is a city of 13,255 people in Spokane County, and Eastern Washington University sits at its center. Settlers came in 1878 to a cluster of springs near today's downtown and called the place Willow Springs. The name later changed to Depot Springs, then to Section 13 after the railroad survey, then briefly to Billings for the Northern Pacific's president.
On September 25, 1880, residents settled on Cheney, after Benjamin P. Cheney, a powerful Northern Pacific director. They hoped his favor would make their town the railroad hub and, in time, the region's largest city. The Northern Pacific's tracks arrived in 1881, and a year later, in 1882, Cheney became an incorporated town. Fires struck in 1883 and again in 1889, and Spokane, with its water power, pulled ahead to become the metropolis instead.
“They had liquid refreshments, after that they had cigars. These things cost money in pioneer days. Glover knows. He paid for them”
- A county seat contestIn 1879 J. N. Glover of Spokane Falls persuaded the legislature to form Spokane County and let voters choose its seat. When the ballots of November 1880 were first tallied, Cheney led by 14 votes, but a recount put Spokane Falls ahead. A judge called for a further count, and Spokane Falls dragged its feet.
- The Grand Steal of 1881Before dawn on March 21, 1881, with much of Spokane Falls dancing at Dick Wright's wedding, Cheney men carried off the county auditor and his books in three wagons. Armed with six-shooters, they kept watch over the records for six weeks, and a court let the result stand. Spokane took the seat back in an 1886 vote.
- A teachers' college in 1890In 1882 Benjamin P. Cheney repaid the town for its name with $10,000 for a school, the Benjamin P. Cheney Academy, and the Northern Pacific donated eight acres. The academy struggled, but its finished building helped Cheney land one of the new state's normal schools in 1889. That school opened on October 13, 1890, with 16 students.
- The region's first skating rinkIn the 1880s a downtown warehouse in Cheney held the first roller-skating rink in the region. Young people rode the Northern Pacific in from Spokane Falls in the evening and went home the next day. Skates were in such demand that many people paid a week in advance to hold a pair, and Miss Sadie Bishop won fame as the champion lady skater.
- Battle of Four Lakes, 1858About four miles from present-day Cheney, Army troops under Colonel George Wright defeated Yakama, Spokane, Palouse and Coeur d'Alene warriors in 1858. The area stayed dangerous for settlers into the 1870s, and during the Nez Perce uprising of 1878 the few families nearby fled to a fort thrown up on a hill a mile northeast of town.
