Soap Lake, Washington<\/h3>
The choosing of the town's name ended the battle between two rival factions. One group had platted a town site and called it Siloam in 1905; while another faction named their town-to-be Cottage City on 1908. The name Soap Lake came from the word Smokiam, an Indian term which translates to \"Healing Waters\". The tribes used the lake for healing purposes for themselves and their animals for many years before the area was settled by pioneers.[5]<\/p>
At that time, Soap Lake was already a busy resort and health spa. It contained four hotels and many rooming houses and businesses catering to sojourners seeking a cure. The residents were very proud of the two-room schoolhouse built in 1907. Even though Soap Lake's main industry was derived from the medicinal lake, it became a social center. In its heyday celebrations, socials, and gatherings where held continuously. Especially well known were the open-air dances, which would draw participants from miles around.\n<\/p>
This came to a halt during the Depression; drought hit Soap Lake. Because of the lack of water and the lack of money, the tourist trade dwindled. But, when Grand Coulee Dam was built, the irrigation canals brought new life into the area. Soap Lake has been internationally known during the past century for its uniquely mineral-rich (23) waters and mud. Many people[who?] believe the water and mud to be successful in treatment of a variety of aliments. From the early 1900s to the mid-1940s, there were a number of sanitariums located on Soap Lake.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
