The Stanwood area has been home to the [[Stillaguamish people]] for thousands of years, who originally had a village at the present site of Stanwood. The modern city of Stanwood was later founded in 1866 as '''Centerville''', adopting its current name in 1877 after the arrival of [[postmaster]] Daniel O. Pearson. It was [[plat]]ted in 1888 and [[municipal incorporation|incorporated]] as a city in 1903. The city was bypassed by the [[Great Northern Railway (U.S.)|Great Northern Railway]], which built a depot {{convert|1|mi|km|1|spell=in}} east that grew into its own separate town, incorporated in 1922 as '''East Stanwood'''. The two Stanwoods were civic rivals for several decades, until their governments were consolidated after a 1960 referendum was approved by voters.
