It was so named because of its high altitude; it was thought to be at the highest point (the crest) betweenCheneyandCoulee City, Washington, along the railroad grade.[6]In the spring of 1890, a town site was platted by H.S. Huson and registered with the state on June 23 of that year. The first structure in town was a small store building moved to the site by Henry Verfurth from the nearby village of Sherman, 5 miles northwest of Creston. A post office was established shortly thereafter whose jurisdiction extended to theColumbia Riveron the North and the railroad tracks on the South with ten miles East and West. Henry Verfurth was appointed as postmaster. Following thePanic of 1893and the bankruptcy of the town site owner, Creston remained dormant until a bumper wheat crop in 1897 gave a boost to the regional economy, bringing thousands of new settlers to the region. The results of the strong harvest were immediate with new businesses, grain elevators, public buildings, churches and the towns first bank and newspaper. At the same time, Creston was given a boost by a new road and ferry connecting it to the rich mineral belts in the nearbyColville Indian Reservation. Between 1900 and 1903, Crestons population doubled to 102. In August 1902, the last surviving member of the infamousHole in the Wall Gang,Harry Tracy, was shot at a Creston ranch and killed himself there to avoid capture.[7]Creston was officially incorporated on April 20, 1903 Location Creston is located roughly 20 miles (32km) west ofDavenport, the county seat.U.S. Route 2passes through Creston, connecting it toWilbur a few miles to the west, with which the town shares a school district.
