Origin Notes and History of Town of Yacolt
References to Town of Yacolt that document the origin of its place name
YACOLT, a town in the northeastern part of Clark County, was named for the prairie on which it is located. Glenn N. Ranck writes that forty years ago an old Indian gave him the following origin of the name.: "Many years ago a small tribe of Indians went huckleberrying on the prairie and some of their children were mysteriously lost. Since they could not find the children they concluded that they had been stolen by evil spirits. Thereupon they called the prairie Yacolt, meaning 'haunted place'." (In Names MSS. Letter 138.)
