History
Prior to American settlement, the Chobaabish (Lushootseed: čubəʔabš) band of the Skagit people had two winter houses around what is now Lyman. One winter longhouse was located close to the present town, along Lyman Slough (Lushootseed: yət̕ič). Another winter longhouse was located across the Skagit River, at the mouth of Day Creek (Lushootseed: sk̓ʷəb).
Lyman's first postmaster, B.L. Lyman, named the town for himself. Lyman was officially incorporated on May 8, 1909. Floodwaters in the channel, eroded a hundred feet of property during November 2017.
