The city is named after the Tualatin River, which flows across the city’s northern boundary. The name Tualatin is said to have Native American influence, possibly meaning “treeless plain.” The Atfalti, a band of the Kalapuya Native Americans, lived on the Tualatin Plains for centuries. The Atfalti practiced controlled soil burning to produce large, open hunting grounds, which in turn made for fertile farming ground. By the 1840’s, most of the residents of the area were Oregon Trail emigrants. In the 1850’s, the settlement was initially dubbed Galbreath after frontiersman Samuel Galbreath. Glabreath built the first bridge over the Tualatin River in 1853, and the land became known as Bridgeport. By the mid 1850’s, white settlers had filed over two dozen Oregon Donation Act land claims in modern day Tualatin. They cleared land, constructed covered bridges, cut roads, built a log school, a smithy, and a store. Soon after, John Taylor operated a ferry across the Tualatin River. Taylor made a direct road from Tualatin to Portland, as he cut and planked a road from the ferry to the big city, called Taylors Ferry Road. It eventually combined with Highway 99W. The community was incorporated as the city of Tualatin in 1913. It wasn’t long before the city had wooden sidewalks, graveled roads, streetlights and a gas station. As the original Donation Land claims were divided and sold, the town became ringed with family farms, onion fields, hop yards, dairies, orchards, and hatcheries. Farm work was the primary means of employment during the 1930s.Schools
