Origin Notes and History of City of Kahlotus
References to City of Kahlotus that document the origin of its place name
KAHLOTUS, a town in the western part of Franklin County. It was first called Hardersburg, but the postoffice department objected to the length of that word and the Indian name was chosen. It means Hole-in-the-ground. The first settlers built there in 1901. ( E. B. Poe, in Names MSS., Letter 410.) The Washtucna Enterprise is authority for the statement that when the Northern Pacific, Connell Branch, was built station sign boards were mixed, and the Kahlotus sign was left where the town of Washtucna was located. (Names MSS., Letter 886.)
