Return to Index History & History Related Items Leavenworth history: Leavenworth was first known as Icicle. It was renamed after Captain Charles Leavenworth, president of the Okanagon Investment Company (one of the first commercial developers in this area of Washington), and a stockholder in the Great Northern Railway. Leavenworth was not always the haven for Bavarian architecture and culture that it is today. When the railroad and timber industries faded, the town began to decline. During the early 1960s, the people of Leavenworth decided to make changes that would increase tourism in their town and cause others to want to come to the area. Due to the similarities of the area to the Bavarian countryside, it was decided to model the “new” town after an alpine village in Germany. Many changes were made including building codes and even learning more of the German culture. The project was so successful that many have moved here permanently to partake of the atmosphere. Leavenworth has much logging and railroad history. Ski Jumping also has been prominant in the area. Try this history page for Leavenworth. Find more history on this page.
