==History==

=== Snoqualmie settlement ===
The [[Snoqualmie people]] have inhabited the Carnation area for more than 10,000 years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Carnation (Tolt) &ndash; Thumbnail History |url=https://www.historylink.org/file/391 |access-date=2023-09-25 |website=www.historylink.org}}</ref> Prior to American settlement, the Snoqualmie had a large village spanning the Tolt River ({{Langx|lut|tultxʷ}})<ref name=":1" /> at its confluence with the Snoqualmie.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hollenbeck |first=Jan L |title=A Cultural Resource Overview: Prehistory, Ethnography, and History |publisher=[[United States Department of Agriculture]] |year=1987}}</ref> This village was highly important as it was the second-largest village in the Snoqualmie river valley. The village also had the best natural defenses in the Snoqualmie river valley.<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal |last=Tollefson |first=Kenneth D. |date=1987 |title=The Snoqualmie: A Puget Sound Chiefdom |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/3773450 |journal=Ethnology |volume=26 |issue=2 |pages=121–136 |doi=10.2307/3773450 |jstor=3773450 |url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last=Dailey |first=Tom |title=Village Descriptions--Duwamish-Seattle |url=http://coastsalishmap.org/Village_Descriptions_Duwamish-Seattle.htm#3 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030213060208/http://coastsalishmap.org/Village_Descriptions_Duwamish-Seattle.htm#3 |archive-date=2003-02-13 |access-date=2023-09-24 |website=Coast Salish Map}}</ref>

The most important building in the village was the {{Langx|lut|x̌alalʔtxʷ|label=none}} (lit. "marked house").<ref name=":0" /> The {{Langx|lut|x̌alalʔtxʷ|label=none}} was a giant longhouse which served as a sort of capitol building, where council was held by both local elders and visiting leaders. It also was an education center for all the people living in the Snoqualmie valley. Elders taught valuable skills and knowledge, such as Snoqualmie language, customs, and laws.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" />

In the 19th century, the prominent Snoqualmie leader [[Patkanim]] ({{Langx|lut|p̓əƛ̕qidəb}}) was born in this village. At this time, Snoqualmie society began to centralize into a chiefdom. During the colonial period, the village served as the [[de facto]] capital of the Snoqualmie chiefdom under Patkanim.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" />

=== American settlement ===
The Snoqualmie Valley was resettled by Americans in the 1850s and 1860s following the signing of the 1855 [[Treaty of Point Elliott|Treaty of Point Elliot]] and the relocation of many of the [[Snoqualmie tribe|Snoqualmie people]] to reservations like [[Tulalip]]. The community of Tolt was founded in 1865 and [[plat]]ted in 1902.<ref name="majors">{{Cite book| last = Majors | first = Harry M. | title = Exploring Washington | publisher = Van Winkle Publishing Co | year = 1975 | page = 91 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CoWrPQAACAAJ| isbn = 978-0-918664-00-6}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Carnation Name History |url=https://www.carnationwa.gov/index.asp?SEC=CBB9FD65-2A80-4F47-B070-F8D51F07AB46&DE=0F1573AF-544C-4797-AC03-ADAC2A8CFD16 |publisher=City of Carnation |access-date=October 7, 2019}}</ref> The name of the community was derived from an [[Anglicization (linguistics)|Anglicization]] of the Lushootseed name for the [[Tolt River]] and the Snoqualmie village (variously spelled as {{Langx|lut|tultxʷ|label=none}}, {{Langx|lut|dxʷtultxʷ|label=none}}, or {{Langx|lut|tulq|label=none}} in Lushootseed).<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Tolt was [[municipal incorporation|incorporated]] as a town on December 30, 1912, shortly after the arrival of the [[Milwaukee Road]], which provided train connections to [[Monroe, Washington|Monroe]] in the north.<ref name="HistoryLink">{{cite web |last=Stein |first=Alan J. |date=November 27, 1998 |title=Carnation (Tolt) – Thumbnail History |url=https://www.historylink.org/File/391 |work=[[HistoryLink]] |access-date=October 7, 2019}}</ref>

The valley was home to several [[dairy]] farms established in the 1900s, including a research farm for the [[Carnation (brand)|Carnation Evaporated Milk Company]]. Following lobbying from the company and the approval of the [[Washington State Legislature|state legislature]], Tolt was renamed to "Carnation" in 1917.<ref name="HistoryLink" /><ref name="Times-Milk">{{cite news |last=Ith |first=Ian |date=November 18, 1999 |title=Towns that milk made |page=B3 |url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/19991118/2995969/towns-that-milk-made----hundreds-of-small-family-dairies-thrived-for-decades-in-the-snoqualmie-valley-and-brought-national-renown-to-the-remote-little-town-of-carnation |work=[[The Seattle Times]] |access-date=October 7, 2019}}</ref> The renaming of the town was opposed by local residents and members of the [[Snoqualmie Indian Tribe]], and later changed back to Tolt on May 3, 1928.<ref name="Phillips">{{cite book |last= Phillips |first= James W. |title= Washington State Place Names |url= https://archive.org/details/washingtonstatep00phil |url-access= registration |year= 1971 |publisher= University of Washington Press |isbn= 0-295-95158-3}}</ref> The "Carnation" name remained on the [[post office]] and [[train depot]], and continued to be used by outsiders.<ref name="HistoryLink" /> Tolt was then renamed back to "Carnation" on October 29, 1951.<ref name="Phillips" /> During the late 20th century, Carnation moved away from dairy farming and became a community for job centers in the [[Eastside (King County, Washington)|Eastside]], growing to a population of 2,158 by 2020.<ref name="Times-Milk" />
