Deer Park was officially incorporated on June 24, 1908 and was named by surveyors that noticed all the deer grazing in the area.
When we were there we also noticed deer in the area, however there most likely were more hiding due to hunting season at the time.
Deer Park was settled in 1889 when a railroad siding was built for the Spokane Falls & Northern Railway.
