References to Satsop that document the origin of its place name
SATSOP RIVER, a tributary of the Chehalis River in the eastern part of Grays Harbor County. The Bureau of American Ethnology says the name was that of a Salish band of Indians living along the river. (Handbook of American Indians Volume II., page 471.) The word is said to mean "on a creek." (W. F. Wagner, in Names MSS. Letter 218.) The Wilkes Expedition, 1841, spelled the word "Sachap." (Narrative, Volume V., page 127.) J. A. Costello says the Lower Chehalis Indians called the river "Sats-a-pish." (The Siwash.)
