Toppenish,
(TOP-pen~ish; population
9,000) Washington, located just 18 miles south of
Yakima, has a comfortable Western flavor and an
unusual mix of
cultures that is approximately
6.5 percent Hispanic and 20 percent Native
American. The prosperous center of
town is made even more attractive by an outdoor
mural program that
has resulted in more than 60 wall
murals of superior quality.
 The
town name comes
from the Native American word. "Thappahn-ish"
(People of the trail that comes from
the foot of the
hills). Its name was
committed to maps, more or less, by Capt. George
McClellan when he wandered
through in 1853. He spelled it "Sahpenis,"
which was written on maps as Toppenish.
