History & geography

History

Bonney Lake was named after William P. Bonney due to his contributions to preserving the history of settlers' in the area. Bonney Lake was incorporated as a town on February 28, 1949, after the establishment of a co-op venture to bring electricity and tap water service to local residents. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to disincorporate the town from 1952 to 1972. The City of Bonney Lake and the Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society placed in 13 historical markers between 2009 and 2015, including one for the Naches Trail, which was a well-used immigrant and military trail during the later half of the 1800s. The fire spread across 500 acres, and the evacuation lasted from Tuesday, September 8 until the following Sunday, September 13.
