Originally named Three Forks, the town was settled in the late 1870’s near the confluences of Missouri Flat Creek, Dry Fork Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River. The name was changed to Pullman in 1881. WSU was founded here in 1890 and officially accepted students in 1892. Today, Pullman retains its small-town atmosphere and charm.
