Tenino, WA Real Estate

Tenino is a city in Thurston County, Washington, United States. The population was 1,447 at the 2000 census.

Tenino was officially incorporated on July 24, 1906, though it existed as a rural community since the mid-1800s. Initially, Americans were attracted to the open prairies created and maintained by local natives through controlled burns. Records indicate the initial settlers' community centered on the prairie approximately 1/2 mile south of the present town. Early residents named their first post office and school "Coal Bank," a reference to a nearby coal outcropping.

The name Tenino is reputedly a Chinook Indian word, which means "fork in the trail." It refers to the site where the Cowlitz Trail between The Columbia River and Puget Sound split, branching to Budd Inlet at Olympia, Washington and Commencement Bay respectively. Some writers assert Tenino was named after either a train locomotive or a survey reference point with the number 1090: ten-nine-oh. The late Art Dwelley, former editor of the Tenino Independent and avid local historian, found no such locomotive or survey marker designations but discovered references to the area as "the tenino" in regional newspapers predating the arrival of the railroad. When the Northern Pacific Railway arrived in 1872 they adopted Tenino as the name of the new station. Visitors to the town may see it written as "T9O", which is also how it's pronounced.
