Historic Map - Tacoma, WA - 1885
Description
The city of Tacoma, Washington was founded on the shores of the Puget Sound in 1864, and was incorporated as a city in 1874. The city was selected as a the western terminus for the Northern Pacific Railroad, though the depot was built two miles south of the city in "New Tacoma".
