Origin Notes and History of Raft River
References to Raft River that document the origin of its place name
RAFT RIVER, Cassia County.—This stream was so called because the beavers had so clogged the channel with their dams that it was necessary for the early settlers traveling over the Oregon trail (q.v.) to cross the mouth of the river in rafts. The Hudson Bay trappers called it "Cajeux" meaning "Ca," "to and fro" and "jeux," "play," for some fanciful notion about the stream's behavior.
