According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.17 square miles (3.03 km2), all land. The community is within the external boundaries of the Yakama Indian Reservation. For decades Wapato attracted Filipino Americans, Hispanic Americans, Japanese Americans, and Native Americans. Older white residents died and entered nursing homes in larger cities, while younger whites moved to attend school and did not return to the community. Hispanic immigrants arrived for agricultural jobs and the small town lifestyle. In 1952, the Filipino community established the Yakima Valley Filipino Community Hall in Wapato, the first facility of its kind in the Western United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2024. More information...
