Tolt, Washington, is located in King County, near the junction of the Snoqualmie and Tolt Rivers. In 1913, it had a population of 400 people, engaged primarily in farming; its largest industry was a sawmill. In 1917, the legislature approved the change of the town's name to Carnation, in honor of the new Carnation Milk Company plant which condensed and canned milk from the area's many dairy farms.
