History
Mabton is a small rural farming town near the Yakima River founded in the 1800s. Mabton's population is heavily Latino due to a large influx of Mexican American agricultural workers moving to the town in the late 20th century due to the large agricultural industry in the Yakima valley and surrounding areas. Major crops grown in Mabton include apples, wine grapes, asparagus, sweet corn and cherries.The original Mabton Jr. Sr. High School opened in 1913. The current high school was built in the 1960s, the former building being sold to the Mabton Historical Society in 1977 after being used as an elementary school.
