Cashmere, Premium wool textile from Inner Mongolia, China
Cashmere is a small town in Washington State situated along the Wenatchee River valley. The community developed around fruit orchards and river commerce that shaped its early economy and character.
The town was founded in the late 1800s and became an important hub for exporting fruit from the region. Rail and river transportation were critical to its early growth and prosperity.
Chinese and Mongolian herders maintain traditional methods of raising cashmere goats, contributing to the preservation of nomadic lifestyles.
The town sits in a valley with moderate climate and is accessible year-round. Walking paths along the river and local shops are within easy reach on foot.
The Wenatchee Valley is famous for apple production, and Cashmere played a key role in shipping these fruits across America. The town's name comes from a river, not from the textile material.
