Stop In, we would love to share Mason County History with you!
Book of the Month!
by Michael Fredson and illustrated by Gary Jenkins.
Unquestionably Shelton's biggest time of growth was from 1910 until 1933. It was this time when Simpson Logging Company started booming and people like Sol Simpson and Mark Reed started to form this one time company town into a prosperous city. It was at this time when Simpson had a lot of control over the city and held much of the wealth. They were able to use this power to build the start of the infrastructure that is still used today.
