QUINAULT, a lake, river and Indian Reservation in the northwestern part of Grays Harbor County. On the shore of the lake there is a postoffice with the same name. It was as the name of an Indian tribe that the name was first used. The Bureau of American Ethnology has collected an extensive synonymy. (Handbook of American Indians, Volume I., pages 342-343.) The present form, Quinault, has been approved by the United States Geographic Board. (Fifth Report 1890 to 1920, page 267.) The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is now using the same form.

Trails & trials of the pioneers of the Olympic Peninsula, State of Washington by Jann Castleberry (Compiler)
“In Grays Harbor's historical record Trails & Trials of the Pioneers stands alone as an enduring trove of firsthand settler stories. ... the book came to fruition after years of conducting interviews, collecting written recollections, and compiling them into scrapbooks. ... Jann Castleberry’s revised fourth edition … is a fresh and expanded version of Cleland’s original. Historic photographs sourced from individuals, museums, and archives provide a valuable visual supplement to the original text. Castleberry also solicited new submissions from Quinault area residents whose stories compliment those captured so many years ago.”--Introduction
