In 1906 the E.I. duPont deNemours Co. acquired a tract of land for the manufacture of black powder and high explosives, which led to the creation of a company town. Weyerhauser purchased the site after the dynamite plant closed in 1976 and developed Northwest Landing, a planned community of curving boulevards, parks and Craftsman-style homes that is now a National Historic District.
