Carpet Cleaning for Dupont

DuPont, located in southern Pierce County near Steilacoom, flourished as a company town from 1906 to 1976 with the singular purpose of producing dynamite. Because of the volatile nature of the town's product, safety became an important feature of every aspect of life, from the prohibition against drinking to maintaining grazing animals to control grass. The village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the only former company town in the state with most of the houses remaining as they were. The village of Dupont, now known as the "old downtown" of the city, is today adjacent to Northwest Landing, a new housing development built on former dynamite production land and later annexed to DuPont.

Today, DuPont is still a growing community. The elementary school in DuPont (Chloe Clark Elementary) reached 700 students from kindergarten through fifth grade in the 2007-2008 school year, and, since DuPont is still growing, the school does not have enough classrooms for more than 700 students in grades K-5 for the 2008-2009 school year. Therefore, in the 2008-2009 school year, Chloe Clark Elementary School will only have students in grades K-3.[4] A middle school is also being constructed, and it is planned to be opened in time for the 2008-2009 school year. The new middle school is being built to replace the old Pioneer Middle School in Steilacoom, and hence the new school will also be called Pioneer Middle School.

Wilmington Street and McNeil Street are the two main roads that pass through the downtown area of DuPont. Several businesses in DuPont have opened in the last five years. Historic Village, a residential area, is the only part of DuPont that is not part of Northwest Landing.
