The area that became known as Duvall was historically the home of the [[Snoqualmie (tribe)|Snoqualmie]] and other ancestral [[Tulalip]] [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] tribes.  Following their relocation under the [[Treaty of Point Elliott]], the area was homesteaded by veterans of the [[American Civil War|Civil War]].<ref name="hlink">[http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=153 Duvall &mdash; Thumbnail History] from the Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History</ref>  The center of present-day town was located on a hillside homesteaded by Francis and James Duvall, loggers who arrived in 1871.<ref name="hlink"/>

An early milestone in the settlement of Duvall proper was the relocation of the town of [[Cherry Valley, Washington|Cherry Valley]]. Around 1909, the [[Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad|Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad]] agreed to move Cherry Valley homes and businesses to Duvall in order to continue the construction of a railroad line along the [[Snoqualmie River]].<ref name="hlink"/>  The newly relocated town, briefly named '''Cosgrove''' after [[Samuel G. Cosgrove]], underwent a real estate [[Boom and bust|boom]]; streets and sidewalks were laid and a [[Train station|train depot]] was constructed.<ref name="hlink"/> This was followed by construction of a [[Nickelodeon movie theater|movie house]], a drug store, a new schoolhouse, and several hotels.<ref name="hlink"/>  By 1911, the ''[[Duvall Citizen]]'' began publishing regular editions of news events.<ref name="hlink"/><ref>[http://www.historylink.org/duvall/ Duvall Newspaper Index] from the Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History</ref>

On April 28, 1968, nearly 3,000 fans attended a rock concert at a farm in Duvall where an upright piano was dropped from a helicopter.  Performances included [[Country Joe and the Fish]].  This concert is well known to locals as the [[Piano drop|Piano Drop]].
