Origin Notes and History of Fruitland
References to Fruitland that document the origin of its place name
FRUITLAND, a town on the Columbia River, in Stevens County. A. L. Wash burn and Mr. Price took up preemption claims there in 1880. It was called at first "Price's Valley." J. N. Allison joined them and their orchards thrived. One day Mrs. Allison placed an apple on the table and declared the region ought to be called Fruitland Valley. The idea prevailed, and when a postoffice was established by M. C. Peltier, in 1887, three names were sent in and Fruitland was selected. (Mrs. Anna J. Thompson, in Names MSS., Letter 128.)
