Moses Lake, WA Real Estate

Moses Lake is a city in Grant County, Washington, United States. The population was 14,953 at the 2000 census.

Named Neppel in 1910 by white settlers, later residents voted in 1938 to rename their city to honor Native American Chief Moses and the city became Moses Lake. The chief ™s name had already been given to the lake next to Neppel and to a coulee running between Wenatchee and Ephrata. The city served the trading needs of a small group of pioneering farmers who settled on the shores of the lake.

Moses Lake has a long history with its sister city, Yonezawa, Japan. The two cities have been exchanging students every summer for over 20 years. There is a street named after Yonezawa in Moses Lake.

Chief Sulktalthscosum aka Chief Moses was born in 1829 and was the chief of the tribe of Native Americans inhabiting this area. They were called Kowalchina and sometimes Sinkiuse and Columbias.

Chief Moses's people lived in the Moses Lake area until he was arrested and tried for murder. In 1878, a white couple was murdered near Rattlesnake Springs by Indians controlled by Chief Joseph. The military, however, blamed the incident on Chief Moses. He was captured near present day O'Sullivan Dam and stood trial in Yakima, where he was found not guilty. Chief Moses then went to Washington, D.C., and met with President Rutherford B. Hayes. He ceded control of the Columbia Basin to the U. S. government, which then opened the area for homesteading. Chief Moses moved to the Methow Valley and Chelan.
