Editing Acme, Washington (section)

==History==
There are two accounts on how Acme was named.

The first states that Acme was named by Samuel Parks around 1887 after the name of a hymnal in his possession.<ref name=majors>{{Cite book| last = Majors | first = Harry M. | title = Exploring Washington | publisher = Van Winkle Publishing Co | year = 1975 | page = 20 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CoWrPQAACAAJ| isbn = 978-0-918664-00-6}}</ref>

The second claims that in 1887, resident George Parls named the town after a local church's newly received Acme hymn book.<ref name="WA place names">{{cite book | title=Washington State Place Names | publisher=University of Washington Press | author=Phillips, James W. | year=1997 | page=3 | isbn=0295954981 | edition=8th}}</ref>

Either way, the English word acme is from a Greek word meaning ''culmination'' or ''top or highest point''.<ref name="WA place names" />
