Maytown, Washington


Maytown is an unincorporated community in Thurston County, in the U.S. state of Washington.

History

Maytown was founded as a lumber town in 1911, and named after Maytown, Kentucky, the native home of the proprietor of a local sawmill. A folk etymology maintains a first settler named the town when he said "It may become a town, and it may not, so I'll call it Maytown". A post office was in operation at Maytown from 1922 until 1928.
