About Duvall from Wikipedia
The area, which later became known as Duvall, was historically the home of the Snoqualmie and other ancestral Tulalip tribes. Following their relocation under the Treaty of Point Elliott and after the Civil War, the area was homesteaded by veterans. The area that became the center of present-day Duvall was on a hillside homesteaded in the 1870’s by Francis and James Duvall, the city's namesake.

An early milestone in the settlement of Duvall proper was the relocation of the town of Cherry Valley around 1909, when the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad agreed to move Cherry Valley homes and businesses to Duvall in order to continue the construction of a railroad line along the Snoqualmie River. The newly-relocated town (briefly named Cosgrove after Samuel G. Cosgrove) underwent a real estate boom; streets and sidewalks were laid and a train depot was constructed. It was followed by a movie house, a drug store, a new schoolhouse, and several hotels. By 1911, the Duvall Citizen began publishing. Duvall was officially incorporated on January 7, 1913.
