The Swauk Mining District was established in 1873. The original miners of the Swauk Mining District held a meeting at John Black’s Cabin on Swauk Kittitas County in the Washington Territory for the purpose of organizing the Swauk Mining District and enacting local laws and regulations for the government thereof. We are currently transitioning to a 501(c)(6) Business League to improve business operating conditions for mineral prospectors and mine operators within the Swauk Mining District.
