Very attractive and historic real photo postcard showing view of Hoquiam, Washington. According to Wikipedia: Hoquiam (/ˈhoʊkwiəm/ US dict: hōk′·wē·əm) is a city in Grays Harbor County, Washington, United States. The town borders the city of Aberdeen at Myrtle Street, with Hoquiam to the west. The two cities share a common economic history in lumbering and exporting, but Hoquiam has maintained its independent identity. Aberdeen is more populated, but the two cities have a long rivalry, especially in high school sports (see Athletics). Hoquiam (Ho'-kwee-um, or Ho-kwim, to natives) was incorporated on May 21, 1890. Its name comes from a Native-American word meaning "hungry for wood", so named from the great amount of driftwood at the mouth of the Hoquiam River.[5][6] In 2010 the population was 8,726. One of the first logging operations in Hoquiam was established by Ed Campbell in 1872.[7] About 10 years later, Captain Asa M. Simpson, a Pacific Coast mariner and businessman in the lumber industry from San Francisco, provided the financing for the Northwestern Mill.[8] In 1881, Simpson sent his manager, George Emerson, to Hoquiam to establish a mill there, and Emerson purchased 300 acres for the new mill and lumber operation. By September 1882, the Simpson mill was producing its first lumber products.[7] In 1886, Captain Simpson merged his mill with the Miller Brother’s mill, also located in Hoquiam, and named it the Northwest Lumber Company[9] The mill was later renamed the Simpson Lumber Company, and retained that name until 1906. In 1913, Frank J. Shields became the new manager at the mill at Hoquiam.[10] The extension of the railroad from Aberdeen to Hoquiam, beginning in 1898, contributed to the continued importance of logging and lumber in Hoquiam.[7] The importance of logging and related products continued to be relevant to Hoquiam’s economy, and in 1927, a pulp mill was established under the name of Grays Harbor Pulp Company. A year later, a Pennsylvania company- the Hammerhill Paper Company- became interested in Grays Harbor Pulp Company. When the Pennsylvania company bought stock in the Grays Harbor Pulp Company, the Grays Harbor pulp Company built a paper mill and became the Grays Harbor Pulp & Paper Company. In 1936, the Grays Harbor Pulp and Paper Company merged with Rayonier Incorporated,[7] a company which used a certain kind of pulp to produce rayon.[11] In 1907, Hoquiam was home to Industrial Workers of the World Industrial Union No. 276.[12] Unsent, divided back with some warping/creasing (more visible from reverse), light corner bumping & toning. Fair-Fine condition. Shipping is $2.00 domestic and $3.00 international. All items/orders selling at or over $49.95 will be based upon final sale price.
