Origin Notes and History of Skamania
References to Skamania that document the origin of its place name
SKAMANIA COUNTY, organized by the Washington Territorial Legislature on March 9, 1854. The name is an Indian word meaning "swift water" and was "probably applied to the troubled waters of the Columbia River". (Henry Gannett: Origin of Certain Place Names in the United States, page 284.) A town in the county bearing the same name was formerly known as Butler until the residents petitioned for a change. (L. C. Gilman, in Names MSS. Letter 590.)
