References to Semiahmoo that document the origin of its place name
SEMIAHMOO BAY, at the northwestern corner of Whatcom County, at the Canadian boundary. During the gold rush of 1858, the town on the bay was called Semiahmoo. In 1885, the town's name was changed to Blaine. Likewise the bay was formerly charted as Drayton Harbor. The name Semiahmoo is that of a former tribe of Salish Indians living on the bay. (Handbook of American Indians, Volume II., page 500.) See Blaine, Boundary Bay and Drayton Harbor.
