Information About

Burley, Washington




Burley was established in the 1890s by a group called the ''Co-operative Brotherhood'' as a cooperative Socialist colony. It was originally named Circle City, with buildings laid out on the periphery of a circle. When the colony failed in 1908 , the present name was adopted for the creek that runs past town, which is the namesake of an early settler who was not a member of the colony.
