Pasco
is near the site where the Lewis Expedition made camp in 1805.
Pasco has both strong agricultural and industrial roots, and
is the largest city in the million acre Columbia Basin irrigation
project. Pasco is also home to the Tri-Cities Airport, the first
commercial airport west of the Mississippi (TCVCB Guide). Visit
the City of Pasco's web
site for more information.

Kennewick
was first home to the Chemnapam Indians. The name means "Winter
Haven", an appropriate title as the Tribe gathered in
the mild climate to fish and pasture their horses. Kennewick
is now largest of the three cities and relies on light industry
and retail to support the thriving economy (TCVCB Guide). Visit
the City of Kennewick's
web site for more information.
.....................
Richland
started out as a small farming community, but the population
boomed from about 300 to more than 15,000 residents in 1943 when
the Government built the country's first nuclear reactor on the
Hanford Site. The nuclear reservation continues to play a major
role in the Tri-Cities Economy and is also a huge part of the
science and technological communities worldwide (TCVCB Guide).
