'''Duvall''' is a city in [[King County, Washington|King County]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]], United States, located on [[Washington State Route 203|SR 203]] halfway between [[Monroe, Washington|Monroe]] and [[Carnation, Washington|Carnation]].<ref>[http://www.duvallwa.gov/aboutduvall.html About Duvall] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527090817/http://www.duvallwa.gov/aboutduvall.html |date=May 27, 2010}} from the city's official website</ref>  The population was 8,034 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref name="2020 Census (City)">{{cite web|title=Explore Census Data |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Duvall_city,_Washington?g=160XX00US5319035 |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=March 30, 2024}}</ref>

==History==
[[Image:Duvall WA bridge 01.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Bridge crossing the [[Snoqualmie River]] on the [[Woodinville, Washington|Woodinville]]-Duvall Road as it enters the center of Duvall (2007).]]
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]].  This event inspired the [[Sky River Rock Festival]] which occurred later that year.<ref>Walt Crowley, Rites of Passage: A Memoir of the Sixties in Seattle (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1995), 110-112, 255.</ref>

From 1990 to 1997, the city's population grew by 50&nbsp;percent as it shifted into a [[bedroom community]] for job centers on the Eastside.<ref>{{cite news |last=Lopez Williams |first=Sarah |date=January 15, 1997 |title=Small places hit by growth, too |page=B1 |work=The Seattle Times}}</ref> Duvall experienced a great amount of construction during the period of 2008–2009 with the aim of making the one-road town center more accessible and presentable to tourists.<ref>{{cite web|title=Duvall|url=http://snoqualmievalleymuseum.pastperfectonline.com/bysearchterm?keyword=Duvall|website=Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum|access-date=June 13, 2017}}</ref>

==Events==
