Kennewick was the site of the key significant archaeological discovery, known as the Kennewick Man.

The Caucasoid features on the 9,000-year-old remains of what should have been an indigenous man have caused great speculation.

"Kennewick" is a name that is believed to be a native word which means "grassy place." The region's mild winter months have made it known as "winter paradise." Amongst the numerous previous names of Kennewick is "Tehe", from the sound of a native girl's laugh.

In the 1880s, Kennewick was connected to other settlements along the Columbia River via steamboats and railroads. In 1888, the Northern Pacific Railroad built a permanent railroad bridge between the City of Kennewick and Pasco, replacing the ferry as the chosen method of transportation for freight crossing the river. A cable ferry connected the west end of Kennewick and the Pasco side of the river up until 1931.
