Origin Notes and History of Hillhurst
References to Hillhurst that document the origin of its place name
HILLHURST, a town in the western part of Pierce County, south of Tacoma. When the railroad was built about 1873 the hill caused frequent delays in the trains. This gave rise to the name. The road has since been regraded but the name remains. (W. G. Fielding, in Names MSS., Letter 117.)
