City Name
History:
|
Originally
called Seatco, an Native-American word meaning "devil," the town
was the site of the first territorial prison, 1874-1888. Prisoners
worked adjacent coal mines owned by J.M. Buckley, Samuel Coulter, and John
B. David. To avoid name confusion with Seattle, the three men coined
a new name by using the first two initials of their surnames - Bu-Co-Da. |
