| Description | 1 map; 39 x 72 cm. Scale 400 feet to 1 inch. Cheney was founded in 1880 and named Billings, after the president of the Northern Pacific Railway. Prior to that, it had been known as Depot Springs. When a Northern Pacific director, Benjamin P. Cheney, gave the town $10,000 towards building a private academy, the town changed its name to Cheney. The academy still exists today, though as a public school, as Eastern Washington University. |
