Established in 1876 by George Brackett, Edmonds was formally incorporated in 1890 as the first town in Snohomish County. Popular legend has it that Brackett included two of his oxen in the first census in order to meet the minimum requirements to incorporate.
In the early years of its existence, Edmonds was largely known for it's shingle mills.

The last of these shingle mills closed in 1950 and the community has become a suburb of Seattle.
