| Thurston City Directories |

Have you ever wondered who lived in your
house before you? At archives
we have an easy way of finding out. We can also tell you what the
homeowner did for a living. Or maybe you want to know more about someone
who lived in the area but your information is sketchy. We can help with that
too.
A lot of information awaits you in our collection of city directories (printed by the Thurston company) dating from
1911 to 1976. The reverse address listing is one of the most helpful features.
If you know a particular address you can find out who lived there on any given
year
between 1911 and 1976 (with a few years missing). You can then look up the name in the regular listing and find out the individual’s profession and place of employment. (Read more after the break.)
