The Renton area was long a cultural center of the Duwamish. European settlers arrived as early as 1853, first among them Henry Tobin and his wife, Diana. The town lay on the Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad, the first railroad built to Seattle, near several coal mines that drew entrepreneurs such as Erasmus M. Smithers, who is credited with founding the town in 1875. Smithers, who discovered coal there and brought in Charles D. Shattuck to run the mine, named it for Captain William Renton, a lumber and shipping merchant who invested heavily in the coal trade.
Renton was incorporated on September 6, 1901, when coal mining and timber processing were the area's main industries. The town often flooded from the Cedar and Black rivers. When the Lake Washington Ship Canal was completed in 1916, Lake Washington dropped several feet and stopped draining through the Black River, the Cedar River was diverted into the lake, and the Black River largely disappeared, which reduced the annual floods. The population rose sharply during World War II, when Boeing built its Renton Factory to produce the B-29 Superfortress, and the city grew from 4,488 people in 1940 to 16,039 in 1950. Renton is also home to the game company Wizards of the Coast and to the administrative offices of Providence Health System. Sources Wikipedia: Renton, Washington
