dbo:abstract
  • Pinkney City (auch Pinkneyville genannt) war eine kleine Gemeinde außerhalb des im heutigen Stevens County im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Ursprünglich war die Gemeinde nach dem Hauptmann (im Rang eines Majors) Pinkney Lugenbeel benannt, dem Erbauer und ab 1859 ersten Kommandanten des Forts. Das Städtchen wuchs schnell um das neugegründete Fort herum. Die zivile Stadt unmittelbar nördlich des Postens der U.S. Army wurde schnell zu einem wichtigen Handelszentrum und 1860 der County Seat des ursprünglichen Spokane County. 1863 ersuchte das Spokane County Board of County Commissioners die Legislative, das bis dato noch nicht eingerichtete Stevens County zum Teil des Spokane County zu machen. Die Washington Territorial Legislature löste jedoch 1864 das Spokane County auf und machte es zu einem Teil des Stevens County mit den ursprünglichen Spokane County Commissioners; der County Seat in Pinkney City blieb erhalten. Das erste Postamt der Stadt wurde am 17. Dezember 1859 eingerichtet und am 17. April 1860 wieder aufgelöst. Ein nächstes Postamt wurde am 25. November 1862 gegründet und Fort Colville genannt. Sein Name wurde am 13. April 1883 in Colville geändert. Nachdem das Fort 1882 aufgegeben wurde, begann Pinkney City zu verschwinden; die meisten Geschäfte wanderten in das drei Meilen (4,8 km) entfernte Colville ab. Pinkney City liegt an der Aladdin Road/ Douglas Falls Road. Das Tempolimit in diesem Gebiet beträgt 35 mph (56,3 km/ h). (de)
  • Pinkney City (also called Pinkneyville) was a small community outside of Fort Colville (US Army) in what is now Stevens County (Washington). Originally named for Brevet Major Pinkney Lugenbeel, first commander and builder of the fort in 1859. The town grew up around the fort shortly after. The civilian town just north of the U.S. Army post soon became an important trading center and, in 1860, the county seat for the original Spokane County. In 1863, original Spokane County Board of County Commissioners petitioned the legislature to make Stevens County, which had not yet organized, part of Spokane County. Instead in 1864, the Washington Territorial Legislature dissolved Spokane County and made it part of Stevens County with the original Spokane County Commissioners and the county seat at Pinkney City retained. The first post office for the town was established 17 December 1859 and discontinued April 17, 1860. The next post office was established November 25, 1862 and called Fort Colville. Its name was changed to Colville on April 13, 1883. After the fort was abandoned in 1882, Pinkney City began to disappear with most businesses moving three miles to the current town of Colville, Washington. Pinkney City is located on Aladdin Rd at Douglas Falls Rd. The speed limit through here is 35 MPH. (en)
