The early settlers who came to the eastern edge of Grays Harbor in the 1880s called the place Wishkah, after the nearby river. But some objected, and the city was eventually renamed for a local salmon cannery, itself a [[namesake]] of the original [[Aberdeen]], [[Scotland]], which is situated at the mouth of two rivers. The neighboring settlement of [[Wishkah, Washington|Wishkah]] had its plat filed in 1883.
 
Although it has become the largest and best known of the three cities on [[Grays Harbor]], Aberdeen lagged behind neighbors [[Hoquiam, Washington|Hoquiam]] and [[Cosmopolis, Washington|Cosmopolis]] in the early years. When A.J. West built the town's first sawmill in 1884, the other two municipalities had already been in business for several years. For years Aberdeen and neighboring towns vied to be the terminousterminus for the [[Northern Pacific Railroad]], but instead of ending at one of the established mill towns, the railroad skimmed through [[Cosmopolis]] and headed west for [[Ocosta, Washington|Ocosta]], a little town on the South Shore.
 
So [[Hoquiam]] and [[Aberdeen]] citizens banded together to build a spur, and in 1895 this homegrown line connected the Northern Pacific tracks to Aberdeen, and four years later it reached Hoquiam.
 
By [[1900]], Aberdeen was one of the roughest towns on the [[West Coast]], with many saloons, whorehouses, and gambling establishments. [[Aberdeen]] was well known by sailors. It was nicknamed "The Hellhole of the Pacific", or "The Port of Missing Men", because of the high murder rate around the area. One such person was Billy Gohl, known locally as Billy "Ghoul", who was rumored to have killed at least 140 men. <references/>
 
Aberdeen was officially incorporated on [[May 12]], [[1890]]. On [[October 16]], [[1903]], a massive fire swept through the city's commercial district, destroying 140 buildings and killing four people. The number of people living there grew tremendously in forty years, going from 1,638 in 1890 to 26,073 in 1930. Many immigrants moved in from all over the world, particularly people from Scandanavia, and many other European countries.
