Origin Notes and History of Town of La Conner
References to Town of La Conner that document the origin of its place name
LA CONNER, a town in the western part of Skagit County and formerly the county seat. The site was first settled in May, 1867, by Alonzo Low and the postoffice there was called Swinomish. In 1869, J. S. Conner bought the trading post and the next year had the name changed to honor his wife, Mrs. Louisa Ann (Siegfried) Conner. The French-looking "La" was obtained by joining her initials.

In the valley of mystic light an oral history of the Skagit Valley arts scene by Claire E. Swedberg , Rita Hupy
Claire Swedberg and Rita Hupy conducted hundreds of interviews to investigate what role a community plays in the arts, and what the arts can bring to a community. The result is In the Valley of Mystic Light, the first book to chronicle the unique story of the La Conner art scene, while exploring, on a personal level, what it means to be a Northwest artist. This remarkable story provides an illustration of the universal creative process as told by the mystic artists of the Northwest and the townspeople who provided them with support and inspiration.
