The name of the City of Sumner was drawn from a hat. The city could just as well been called Kincaid, Ryan, or Thompson.

William Kincaid, on whose donation land claim the original city was built, is considered the founding father of Sumner. The Kincaids had come across the Naches Pass in 1853 Struggling down cliffs so steep their wagons had to be lowered by rope to reach this fertile valley.

In 1873, George Ryan came west to become the first Mayor when the town incorporated in 1891, with a total of 127 registered voters. The third man was L.F. Thompson who also received a donation claim from the US Government signed by President Grant.

Those three names went into the hat in 1875 but somehow Sumner was the name that came out. Sumner, a popular Senator from Vermont was much honored for his efforts toward the abolition of slavery. That was an omen for the future, because Sumner continues today the tradition of many people working together and insisting someone else take the credit.
