'''Vista''' is a neighborhood of [[Kennewick, Washington|Kennewick]] in [[Benton County, Washington|Benton County]], [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]], United States. It is located within the city limits of [[Kennewick, Washington|Kennewick]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The community was established in 1889 and was named Relief by the [[Northern Pacific Railway Company]] because the location was used for adding relief engines to heavy trains. |
|||
An [[artesian well]] was drilled by the railroad in 1903 to supply water for the steam engines. The excess water was sold water to nearby farmers.<ref name=WPNDB>{{cite web | url=http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/wanames/wpnv2.asp | title=Washington Place Names database | publisher=Tacoma Public Library | accessdate=October 30, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120905051206/http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/wanames/wpnv2.asp | archive-date=September 5, 2012 | url-status=dead | df=mdy-all }}</ref> |
|||
In November 1908, the railroad changed the name to Vista, because there was no longer a need for relief engines.<ref name=WPNDB/><ref name=NPRHA>{{cite web | url=http://research.nprha.org/Lists/Station_Roster_Master_List/DispForm.aspx?ID=16784 | title=Station Roster Master List: Vista | publisher=Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association | accessdate=October 30, 2012}}</ref> |
