Abstract
"The very first Independence day celebration in Yakima, then North Yakima, took place on the first anniversary of the national holiday in the new town on July 4, 1885 and was an event which attracted settlers and Indians from all parts of the valley. Difficulties and inconveniences were no discouragement and simply added zest to the whole affair. It was a day of real festivity and included on the program a parade, speeches, fireworks and sports as recalled by R. B. Milroy, commissioner of the land office."
