Job Carr was the founder of Tacoma, Washington, United States. A Union veteran of the United States Civil War, Carr came west in 1864 to settle on a 168-acre claim in what is now Tacoma. He was the first permanent European American settler in the area and built a cabin on his claim, which doubled as the United States Post Office when he was appointed postmaster. He was an early promoter of Tacoma as a potential terminus for the Northern Pacific Railroad, and encouraged settlement in the new town
