Orting is a city in Pierce County, Washington, United States. The population was 9,041 at the 2020 census. The first recorded claims for land in Orting were made in 1854 by William Henry Whitesell, Thomas Headley, Daniel Lane, and Daniel Varner. Streets in the modern city are named after the four men, and a monument in Orting City Park commemorates them. Orting was officially incorporated as a city on April 22, 1889. Early growth surrounded the area's production and logging industries. Later, Christmas tree and bulb farms also became part of the local economy. Orting was also a supply town for the coal mining towns Wilkeson and Carbonado . The first railroad in the city was built in 1877 by the Northern Pacific Railway, called "Whitesell's Crossing" because it ran right through the Whitesell property. Because railroads eased transportation, Orting's population quickly increased. Remaining parts from the railroad are part of the Meeker Southern Railroad, which runs between Puyallup and McMillin.
