History [edit]

The City of Spokane Valley incorporated on March 31, 2003.^[eleven] At its creation, it was the third-largest newly incorporated city in US history (afterward Centennial, Colorado, which incorporated in 2001; and Miami Gardens, Florida, which incorporated most 5 weeks earlier Spokane Valley).

The city formed from combining the urbanized unincorporated areas east of Spokane Urban center, including census-designated places (CDPs) of Dishman, Opportunity, Trentwood, Veradale, part of Greenacres, and East Spokane. The new metropolis boundaries did not include the incorporated areas such as Millwood and Liberty Lake, nor the protected areas such as the Dishman Hills Natural Area. It was initially delayed by a petition from Spokane, because it included the Yardley industrial area, to which Spokane had already extended utilities, and had plans to annex. Prior to the successful vote May 21, 2002, there had been four failed attempts to grade a urban center in the Valley. The primary arguments for incorporation centered around increased phonation in local governance and the threat of annexation by the City of Spokane. The main arguments against incorporation included contentment with Spokane County provided services and the threat of increased taxes and hierarchy by the new city. Both sides claimed their opponents' arguments were entirely untrue scare tactics.^{[12] [13]}
