History
Prior to European settlement, the Stillaguamish had a village site located opposite the site of the old town, on the banks of the north fork of the Stillaguamish River. There were two large winter houses, with around 150-200 people living here.{{Cite book |last=Hollenbeck |first=Jan L. |url=https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/005998596 |title=A cultural resource overview: prehistory, ethnography and history: Mt.
