Origin Notes and History of Ostrander
References to Ostrander that document the origin of its place name
OSTRANDER, a town and creek in the central part of Cowlitz County, both named in honor of Dr. Nathaniel Ostrander, who homesteaded there. He was a famous pioneer physician who later moved to Olympia where he died on February 7, 1902. (Mrs. George E. Blankenship: Tillicum Tales of Thurston County, pages 226-228). In May, 1916, Justice of the Peace S. W. Holmes wrote from Ostrander (Names MSS. Letter 392) that the honor was for Abel Ostrander, which is probably a mistake as to the first name.
