Cosmopolis
is the oldest city on Grays Harbor, since
a donation land claim filed there in
1852. It was incorporated in 1891, and
is a code city. According to James Phillips,
Washington State Place Names, the city
was named in 1853 and means "city of the world".
Local people prefer, with noticeable affection,
to use the city's nickname,
"Cosi".
In the 1960s, 1970s,
and in the late 1990s and early years of
the new century, Cosmopolis developed residential
areas on the hills. Although the population
has not risen considerably, the area continues
to enjoy a larger median income population
than other areas in Grays Harbor and a
distinct "pride" of the community.
