Description:
The Ezra Meeker legacy to America extends far beyond the 1890 era Victorian Home now under restoration. He platted and named the town of Puyallup (means generous people), was the towns first mayor and brought electricity and water to the town. Ezra realized the value of marketing and built a fortune selling hops. He and his father introduced hops to the Puyallup Valley in the 1880's. By 1885 Meeker was recognized as the "Hop King of the World"! Imagine from a humble farmer to a person who was recognized worldwide. This prominence lasted until 1891 when the "Hop Louse" decimated the crops. Hops as a cash crop disappeared in western Washington and so did the Meeker fortune.
