ANSWERS: 1

West Richland was officially incorporated on June 17, 1955. At the time the city was founded, Richland, Washington was owned by the U.S. Government by virtue of the Manhattan Project. A number of residents had chaffed at the government's regulations, and as a result many of them had moved across the Yakima River, where it was possible to purchase land and own (rather than rent) a house.
