First owned by the Northern Pacific Railway, Peshastin was later bought by Aquillar Estes. Estes built the first house in Peshastin south of Peshastin Cemetery.
J.Q. Gilbert later purchased Peshastin and it was plotted as a town Many of the first structures in Peshastin were built by J.Q. Gilbert and his brother A.C. Gilbert including a 120,000 gallon reservoir and pumping station later used to supply the town with domestic water.
Some of the early farmers of the area were M.W. Stark, N.H. Bigleow, C.H. Hauber, S.P. Beecher, C.A. Wright, J.C. Lamester, A.G. Stage, and H.W. Otis.
J.Q. Gilbert, who founded Peshastin, dies at 39 from the result of a logging mill accident near Trinity which caused gangrene and eventually his death.
Unionized labor was brought to the Peshastin area. This brought the Klu Klux Klan to the area to oppose them. Chapters of the Klan were located in Cashmere and Wenatchee.
