Portland, Or. : North Pacific History Co., 1889. v. 2, p. 642. <br>Moscow was first settled in 1869, and was then known as Paradise Valley. In 1875, the name was changed to Moscow, though stories differ as to whether it was named after Moscow, Pennsylvania, or Moscow, Russia. In 1888/1889, by act of Congress the town became county seat of Latah County, newly formed out of Nez Perce County, and the town was also granted the state's land grant college at around this time. At least one of these (opinions differ as to which) came with the codicil that Moscow must drop its support for the movement to join the state of Washington.
