WHITE SWAN, a town on the Yakama Indian Reservation, Yakima County, was named for White Swan who was a famous chief of the Yakama tribe for sixty years. The town is on the site of his home. Mr. A. C. Coburn started the first store there about a year after the chief's death, August 21, 1907. (Postmaster at White Swan in Names MSS. Letter 544.) A special dispatch to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer dated at North Yakima January 13, 1910, tells about the driving of stakes and laying out the townsite of White Swan.
