The town of Malaga started out as a flag station on the Great Northern Railroad in 1903. It is located 7 miles southeast of Wenatchee. The town site was platted on May 19, 1903, by Kirk Whited, of Wenatchee. There was only a post office back then. Today Malaga still has it's Post Office and also has a market and a few homes. Where once freighters and stages kicked up dust through town on their way to Wenatchee. Today it is now mostly traffic going to the aluminum plant.
