Colfax, WA Real Estate

Colfax is a city in Whitman County, Washington, United States. It is located in a valley at the confluence of the North and South forks of the Palouse River, in the midst of steeply rolling wheat-covered hills. The population was 2,844 at the 2000 census. It is the Whitman County GR6 seat and was named after Grant's Vice President, Schuyler Colfax.

Palouse Indians were the first known human inhabitants of the Colfax area. White settlers arrived in the summer of 1870, and soon built a sawmill. Originally, pioneer citizen James Perkin called the settlement "Belleville" in honor of his girlfriend; when he found a new love, he changed the town's name to Colfax. [1]

Colfax grew rapidly and was officially incorporated on November 29, 1881. In 1889-1890, the town vied with several other finalists to become the site of a new agricultural college, present-day Washington State University ; the honor, however, ultimately fell to nearby Pullman.

The population reached 3,500 in 1903, and has hovered near 3,000 ever since. [2]
