Living in Lacey, WA
The history of Lacey began in the 1890s when the thriving town was home to a nationally-renowned horse racing facility, a train station, post office and hotel. Originally, the area was named Woodland in honor of the pioneer settler Isaac Wood, who founded the first brewery in the area.
The first school in Lacey was constructed in 1853 near today’s Pioneer Cemetery, and then another school was built in 1892 as a one-room schoolhouse. Since the town was growing so rapidly, in 1891, residents agreed they needed their own post office. The name Lacey was submitted as another area town was already called Woodland. As time went on, people continued to build larger and larger structures in the area, and by 1928 the school could hold 300 students and had a 750-seat auditorium.
By the 1960s, Lacey had grown to more than 8,000 residents, and the number of housing and commercial developments were consistently rising. Although the town’s first attempt to incorporate was not accepted, a few years later in 1966, Lacey became a city.
