Origin Notes and History of Longview (historical)
References to Longview (historical) that document the origin of its place name
LONGVIEW, a town in Benton County on the north bank of the Columbia River. It was first named Gravel on account of the prevailing material there. It was changed to Francis and again to Tuton. This was thought to conflict with the name of another station, Luzon, and was again changed to Longview, on account of the long view of the Columbia River. (L C. Gilman, in Names MSS., Letter, 590.)
