Edgewood is a city in Pierce County, Washington, United States.

[4] Neighboring towns include Fife to the west, Milton to the northwest, Federal Way to the north, Sumner to the east, and Puyallup to the south.

Dr. William Tolmie, a Scotsman working for the Hudson's Bay Company, passed through Edgewood in 1833 soon after becoming Chief Trader at Fort Nisqually.

Washington's first telegraph line paralleled Military Road that ran through the heart of Edgewood.

The first official run of the interurban line from Tacoma to Seattle, by the way of the valley, was in October 1902.

The State Spiritualists, who had six churches in Western Washington, had a summer camp at Edgewood that was purchased in 1903.

This contrasts with the South Hill area on the opposite side of the Puyallup River valley.

The site where the windmill originally resided was a farm at the intersection of Jovita Boulevard and Meridian Avenue East (SR-161).

The Nyholm farm produced hay, vegetables, fruit and dairy products.

The windmill was moved to its current location in 1980 through the efforts of the Edgewood Volunteer Fire Department.
