County:   Pierce

City Name History:   Now a successful city with extra amenities, the community was initially named in 1907 as
Regents Park by Edward J. Bowes, who hosted the famed Amateur Hour during radio's golden era. 
A promotional flop, the development was incorporated in 1925, at which time, in hopes
of a change in image, it adopted the name of the adjacent golf club.
