History

Everson was named for a local pioneer, Ever Everson. Everson was officially incorporated on May 4, 1929.

In February 2009, a citizens group and local officials proposed consolidating Everson and Nooksack into a single city with a combined population of 3,819 (2010 census). The neighboring cities shared several municipal services at the time, and a combined government would provide cost savings and advantages in grand writing. The Bellingham Herald compared the merger to that of the four towns that formed Bellingham in 1903. Names for the proposed new city included “Nooksack Valley”. The proposal was dropped in May following a unanimous vote by the Nooksack City Council to not move forward based on public feedback.
