The city of Pullman in eastern Washington was first settled in 1874 by Bowlin Farr, who would also plat the town in 1881. A decade later, a committee decided that Pullman should serve as the location for the land grant college. The school that would later become Washington State University opened its doors in January 1892, and the town's fortunes have been linked closely to those of that institution ever since. This delightful digital collection brings together over 1200 photographs and postcards culled from the Special Collections holdings at the Washington State University Libraries. On the collection's homepage, visitors can perform a keyword search, look over a list of topical headings, or just elect to browse through the entire collection. Visitors might want to get started by typing in "palouse" or "agriculture".
