History
The site of Everson was originally home to a settlement of the Lummi nation. A major traditional village with its own large communal smokehouse, it was called Kwánech ("lots -- at the bottom," referring either to two fish traps at Popehómy or to a shallow area in the river at this site). Everson was later named to honor a local pioneer, Ever Everson, the first white settler north of the Nooksack River. Everson was officially incorporated on May 4, 1929.
In February 2009, a citizens group and local officials proposed consolidating Everson and Nooksack into a single city with a combined population of 3,819 (2010 census). The neighboring cities shared several municipal services at the time, and a combined government would provide cost savings and advantages in grant writing. The Bellingham Herald compared the merger to that of the four towns that formed Bellingham in 1903. Names for the proposed new city included "Nooksack Valley". The proposal was dropped in May following a unanimous vote by the Nooksack City Council to not move forward based on public feedback.
