In about 1885, Lee Ives founded the community that would eventually become known as Pateros by establishing Ives Landing as a roadhouse along the Columbia River. It was called Pateros in 1900 by Spanish American War veteran Charles E. Nosler in honor of a Filipino community he had visited there. 
Pateros was officially founded in May of 1913, and for the following many decades it remained a tranquil neighborhood renowned for its fruit orchards and cow ranches. Yet significant obstacles awaited. 
After the Wells Dam was opened in 1966, Pateros was drowned beneath the Columbia River. Even though some homes and businesses were relocated, the majority of the buildings were destroyed.
