About

Leavenworth was incorporated on September 5, 1906. A small timber community, it became the headquarters of the Great North Railroad in the early 1900s.

The railroad relocated to Wenatchee in the 1920s, greatly affecting Leavenworth's economy.

The city struggled until 1962, when it was transformed into a mock Bavarian village and tourist destination to revitalize its economy.
