The following are just a few excerpts from the above history page on Sedro-Woolley. Mortimer Cook and his family came to the valley in 1884. He bought some land and cleared it, making his home here. He had a general store and a shingle mill and ran the postoffice, being the first postmaster. He desired to name the new town after himself, but found there was already a town by the name of Cook in the Washington Territory. Thanks to his wife, the town is not named "Bug" either. He wanted to commemorate the many mosquitoes there, but was outvoted - by his wife and most of the other residents of the area. Finally, he proposed "Cedra," which is Spanish for cedar. The spelling was changed somehow and changed into Sedro which it remained. Philip A. Woolley came here in 1890 and settled just north of Sedro. He founded Woolley, named after himself, and lived there until his death. He is buried in the Sedro-Woolley Union Cemetery. Woolley, hurt by major fires in 1891 and 1893, did not grow as rapidly as Sedro, but both struggled during the late 1800's economic woes. A rivalry developed between the two towns, so when merging was proposed, neither town wanted to give up its name. Finally a compromise occurred - the two names were blended. The merging of the two towns came on 19 December 1898 with the incorporation and merging occurring on that date. The incorporation date of Sedro-Woolley: 19 December 1898 Return to Index Attractions Sedro-Woolley attractions: Sedro-Woolley Official City Website Sedro-Woolley Festivals 4th of July Sedro-Woolley's Loggerodeo, the oldest 4th of July celebration in the state, featured in Sunset magazine, capped off on the 4th with the grand parade, which is attended by more than 10,000 Founders Days always the second weekend of September annually Celebrates Tarheel heritage, with food, street dances, music and history exhibits at the city museum.
