The Lewis & Clark Expedition passed through this area on their return trip. In 1859, the first settlers established ranches in the area and began raising grain. In 1865, Sylvester M. Wait established a gristmill on the Touchet River and the town of Waitsburg grew up around the mill. The railroad reached Waitsburg in 1881.
