About Goldendale, Washington
Goldendale is a city of 3,453 people and the seat of Klickitat County, 13 miles north of the Columbia River Gorge. John J. Golden, a Pennsylvania man who had kept two stores in Shasta City, California, came to the Klickitat Valley in August 1859 looking for good cattle land. In 1871 he bought the future townsite from L. J. Kimberland, and the next spring he brought a surveyor from The Dalles to plat it. County voters made Goldendale the county seat on November 5, 1878, and the Territorial Legislature incorporated it on November 14, 1879.
On Sunday, May 13, 1888, while many residents were away at a picnic northeast of town, fire swept the downtown. With no water system, people fought it with buckets, and they lost the courthouse, the jail, the First Methodist Church, about 25 homes and the county's earliest records, some $250,000 in all. Within months about 20 buildings stood again, many of them brick, a brick courthouse was finished in 1889, and in 1890 voters backed a bond to build a city water system.
“Since Goldendale had as yet no rail connection by which supplies could easily be shipped, residents made the bricks themselves from local clay.”
- A railroad of its ownFor some 30 years Goldendale had no railroad, and wheat growers waited in vain for the Northern Pacific or another line to reach them. Residents finally talked Portland investors into building the Columbia River & Northern Railway to a dock at Lyle, and John Golden donated land for the depot and rail yard. When the first train arrived in 1903, 10,000 tons of wheat sat ready to ship. In 1908 the North Bank Route linked the town to major cities.
- A Carnegie library in 1915Andrew Carnegie paid for a one-story Colonial-style brick building, and the Goldendale Free Public Library opened its doors in March 1915. Because it was the only library in Klickitat County, the county commissioners helped fund it every year. The building joined the National Register in 1982.
- Chasing Einstein in 1918On June 9, 1918, William Wallace Campbell of the Lick Observatory and astronomer Heber Curtis came to Goldendale to photograph a total solar eclipse and test whether the Sun bends starlight. With only cameras and no proper instruments, they couldn't confirm it, but British astronomers did by November 1919. Another total eclipse on February 26, 1979, brought thousands of visitors to the Goldendale Observatory.
- The Presby MansionAttorney Winthrop B. Presby built his three-story, 22-room house in 1902. It later served as a boarding house for teachers and then for railway workers. The Klickitat County Historical Society, formed in 1958, bought it in 1962, and it now holds the Presby Museum, with the old press that once printed the Goldendale Sentinel.
