History:

County
seat town was named for David Shelton, who homesteaded the area in
1853. A former fur trapper and gold prospector, Shelton was a member
of the first territorial legislature and succeeded in having his home area
organized as Sawamish County. At a later session he sponsored a bill
to change the county name to Mason in honor of Charles H. Mason, the
territory's first secretary. |
