Washougal ...
Lewis and Clark and Washougal ...
|
Lewis and Clark passed the location of today's Washougal on November 3, 1805, making note of the "prairie" where Washougal is today located, and suggesting it as a possible wintering-over place. Clark also mentions the Washougal River. The "qk Sand River" is Oregon's Sandy River.
-
"... Passed a Small Prarie on the Stard. Side above, a large Creek opposit qk Sand River on the Stard. Side, extensive bottoms and low hilley Countrey on each Side (good wintering Place) ..."
[Clark, November 3, 1805, first draft]
-
"... on the Opposit Side of the Columbia a large Creek falls in above this Creek
on the Same Side is a Small prarie.
extensive low country on each Side thickly timbered. ..."
[Clark, November 3, 1805]
In 1806, on their return trip, Lewis and Clark spent six nights at Cottonwood Beach, gathering provisions for their journey home.
|
"Tea Prairie" ...
|
Early fur traders called the Washougal area "La Prairie du The", or "Tea Prairie". The traders use to stop to pick a form of wild mint that became a substitute for tea.
-
"... We encamped at dusk about five miles above La Prairie du The, so called by the Canadians from a species of mint which grows in it, and which they are fond of using as a substitute for tea. ... "
[Ross Cox, April 21, 1817, published 1832]

Early History ...
|
Alexander Ross camped in the Washougal vicinity on July 24, 1811 and referred to the location as "Wasough-ally Camp".
-
"... During this day, we passed the Namowit Village, Bellevue Point, Johnson's Island, and stayed for the night as Wasough-ally Camp, near Quicksand River, which enters the Columbia on the left.
..."
In 1838 Richard Ough (Howe) arrived in the area. Ough married the daughter of a local chief.
In 1844 the Washougal area was settled by George Bush and Michael Simmons and his wife. In April 1845 the Simmons son, Christopher Columbus Simmons, was born, making him the first American child born north of the Columbia River. In October 1845 Bush and the Simmons left the Washougal area and headed to Puget Sound.
In 1846 David C. Parker arrived via a wagon train party which rafted down the Columbia River from The Dalles, Oregon. Parker squatted on land just downstream (west) of today's Washougal. In 1850, with the coming of the Donation Land Claim system, Parker claimed the nearly 582 acres he occupied, and started the community of Parkersville, the first American town north of the Columbia River.
Other settlers followed David Parker. Joseph Gibbons arrived in 1847, Joseph Duncan in 1850, and J.E.C. Durgan in 1854.
In April 1849 pioneer Richard Ough "squatted" on public land on the upstream (east) side of Parker’s land, and in 1850 he claimed the 633.91 acres he occupied.
In 1858:
-
"David C. Parker settled here in 1845. Parker obtained a donation land claim in 1851, and later platted the town of Parkersville in 1854. He built a small dock to receive supplies and accommodate riverboats on the Columbia River. Upon Parker’s death in 1858, Lewis Van Vleet, father of Dr. Louisa Wright, the county’s first female doctor, became part owner of the estate and ferry and replatted Parkersville. The Port of Camas-Washougal bought the property in 1968."
["clark.wa.gov" website, 2018]
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management's General Land Office (GLO) Records database (2011) shows Richard Ough and Betsy Ough being granted title to 4.46 acres in T1N R3E Sections 12 and 13, on December 22, 1865 (1850 Oregon-Donation Act).
In 1880 Richard Ough sold twenty acres of his claim to Joseph E.C. Durgan and steamship captain and owner Lewis Love. These two men platted the town of Washougal, named after the Indian name for Rushing Water.

Washougal in 1887 ...
"The Oughs sold 20 acres to pioneer Joe E. Durgan and Capt. Lewis Love of the Calliope in 1880; Durgan and Love would found Washougal. The town started small but never looked back. In 1887, B Street amounted to Washougal Town Hall, Kersey's carpenter shop, Durgan's Store, Gary's Store, Fritz Braun's Park Hotel, Maple Grove and Barn, and a mud track to Steamboat Landing."

Washougal in 1888 ...
"About a mile and a half above Parkersville and three miles above LaCamas stands the town of Washougal. This place makes a very pretty appearance as viewd [sic] from the river, and is situated on the north bank of the Columbia. The houses are all neatly painted and the gardens and yards are kept neat and clean. This town was laid out about 8 years ago on a plat of 20 acres secured from Mr. Ough by J.E.C. Durgan and Louis Love. It now has a population of 150 people. Its business consists of two general merchandise stores and a hotel with a bar-room attachment. The firm of Gary & Herzig occupy a fine building, and carry quite a complete stock of merchandise. H.H. Carpenter also carries a good stock of general merchandise. Fritz Braun, proprietor of the Hotel has been there ever since the town was started, and is well known to the traveling public. The Congregational denomination have built a neat little church where services are held on two Sundays of each month. Washougal is situated in the midst of a rich agricultural district, and seems to us must sometime be a place of considerable importance, though the people will have to wake up and let the world know where they are and how to find the town. They offer considerable inducements to the good blacksmith who will open a shop in the town."

Washougal in 1941 ...
From "Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State", 1941, by the Washington State Historical Society, Federal Works Agency, Works Projects Administration (WPA):
"... WASHOUGAL (Ind. rushing water), 87.8 m. ... is at the mouth of Washougal River. Shady trees line the road into town, the main street of which is bordered by frame buildings. Houses are scattered over a wide area on both sides of the river. The town was settled on part of the donation claim of Betsy Ough, wife of Richard Ough, a Hudson's Bay Company employee. Mrs. Ough, an Indian of the Waunaisses tribe, was a trusted friend of the early white settlers on the Columbia River.
Washougal's major industrial plant is the WASHOUGAL WOOLEN MILLS, 1st and Main Streets (visitors Mon. to Fri. 8-4). The plant is housed in a large gray frame building, in the rear of which is a powerhouse. Fabrics of this mill are shipped to manufacturers throughout the United States. Many woolen novelties also are manufactured. Entire families, each member an expert weaver, are often employed; some come from New England mills, others from Europe.
West of Washougal US 830 crosses the Washougal River and spans the outlet of Lackamas Lake, formed by a powerdam backing up the waters of Lackamas Creek. Houses line both sides of the highway. The CROWN WILLAMETTE INN 89.9 m., is a hotel housing some of the employees of the paper mill in Camas. ..."

Captain William Clark Park ...
"Captain William Clark Park at Cottonwood Beach is located on property owned by the Port of Camas/Washougal. Clark Park, once known simply as "Cottonwood Beach," commemorates the historical site where the Corps of Discovery camped for six days while on their journey through this area in 1806. The 85-acre park includes walk paths, paved parking, picnic tables, covered cooking areas, a recognition plaza, three restroom buildings, and replicas of Chinookan canoes and Lewis and Clark's dugout canoes. A two-mile long dike trail at the north side of the Park and just above the Beach offers a scenic stretch for hiking, jogging, biking, and horseback riding."

LEWIS AND CLARK
CAMPSITE
March 31 - April 6, 1806
"On their return to Missouri Lewis and Clark had planned to barter for food with the Indians. However, Natives in this area informed the explorers of a food shortage east of the mountains. They camped between here and the river and for six days hunted and dried elk, deer and bear. It was essential to have ample supply to last until they reached the Clearwater River of Idaho.
Also from this campsite Captain Clark, with an Indian guide, led a small party that discovered the Multnomah (Willamette) River and explroed it upstream a few miles."

Parkersville and Parker's Landing ...
|
In 1850, early setter David C. Parker took a Donation Land Claim on property just downstream of today's Washougal, Washington. Parker constructed a dock which he called Parker’s Landing. In 1854 Parker platted out the town of Parkersville, which consisted of a couple stores, a hotel, bar and a house.
In 1879, Joseph Durgan, founder of Washougal, just upstream of Parkersville, bought the fairly new Carpenter store at Parkersville which included a post-office, and moved to its new location in Washougal. Fritz Braun, who had started building a hotel and bar also in Parkersville, moved his building near Durgan’s store. This location eliminated the wet land problems in the Parkersville area and low water times for ship docking. A roadway, bridge and new dock at Washougal gave Captain Love year-round docking facilities and provided local farmers a new way in and out to the world.
Today, Parkersville is the location of the Washougal Marina, and Parkers Landing is now Parkers Landing Historical Park.
"Parker's Landing Historical Park may very well be sitting atop the birthplace of Washougal. It all began in 1845 when the first permanent white settler, David C. Parker, staked his claim amidst Chinook-speaking Native Americans and later called it Parkersville. Five years later (1850-1856) 50 settlers claimed land under the Donation Land Claim Act and that same year the Indian War resulted in a mass relocation of Native Americans to the Warm Springs Reservation. Over the next 20 years, several merchants would arrive in Parkersville and purchase over 20 acres of neighboring land, which would later be called Washougal. You can still visit the oldest incorporated community, now known as The Port of Camas/Washougal and Parker's Landing Historical Park. Launch your boat or go have a picnic under the harbor in the park. Enjoy the historical narratives in the kiosks or head off to a nearby trail."

"Several Washougal businessmen sold $1,700 worth of stock to bring a woolen mill to town in 1910. By 1912, the mill was failing and the Bishop family, owners of the successful Pendleton Woolen Mill company, bought it. By 1915, they were making quality products and became profitable. The Washougal Woolen Mill merged with Pendleton Woolen Mill in 1953. ...."

"The looms continue weaving in Washougal, Washington, as the mill celebrates 100 years as a key part of Pendleton Woolen Mills' operations. Running three shifts a day, the mill's 190 employees keep the dye house, looms and sewing rooms humming to produce the virgin wool fabric used in Pendleton products.
Washougal sits on the banks of the Columbia River at the entry to the scenic Columbia River Gorge. Pendleton was already operating a mill in Pendleton, Oregon, when the company acquired the Washougal mill in 1912. The additional mill gave Pendleton the ability to weave a wider variety of fabrics. Sir Pendleton worsted and Umatilla woolen fabric are both woven in Washougal, as well as fabrics for the women's line. "The Washougal community helped fund the startup of this mill and has supported Pendleton ever since," said Charlie Bishop, VP of Mill Operations. In turn, the mill has been a major employer in this small Washington town since it opened."

The brass bell which sits above the boiler room was cast in 1865 at the Revere Foundry (of Paul Revere fame), Boston, Massachusetts. The bell came to Washougal by sailing ship around Cape Horn and up to a mill in Brownsville, Oregon. When that mill closed in 1918, Clarence Morton Bishop moved it to the Washougal mill in 1938.

Steamboat Landing ...
|
Steamboat Landing located in Washougal, Washington, at Columbia River Mile (RM) 113. Steamboat landing began as a natural boat landing located about a mile downstream from Cottonwood Beach.
According to the Clark County, Washington, website (2014):
-
"... There's a natural boat landing that played an important role in the Oregon Trail about a mile downstream from Cottonwood Beach, next to the Port of Camas-Washougal marina in present-day Washougal.
Many pioneers coming out west would arrive near the Dalles, Oregon, and make rafts to float down the Columbia River. A natural eddy at the landing would wash barges and rafts up against the north bank. From there settlers could avoid the British at Fort Vancouver by traveling to the interior of what would become Washington state or cross the river to the Oregon bank.
Two men came out on a wagon train, floated down the river, and arrived at the landing in 1845. One was George Washington Bush, the first free African-American man to make a home in Washington. He would found a community near Tumwater.
The second man, David Clark Parker decided to stay put at the landing and took a Donation Land Claim in 1846 that became Parker's Landing, a thriving little community in its day. Other settlers who followed Parker included Joseph Gibbons in 1847, J. Duncan in 1850, and J.E.C. Durgan in 1854. ..."
Today a floating dock provides a panoramic view of the Columbia River Gorge, Cottonwood Beach, and Mount Hood. A two-mile Columbia River dike trail starts at Steamboat Landing and continues upstream to Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
The pilings visible are remains from the old paddlewheel boat dock which extend across the highway to the Pendleton Woolen Mill.
"Steamboat Landing at the intersection of SR 14 and 15th Street, provides pedestrian access to several points of interest. Visitors can stroll a boardwalk floating on the Columbia River that leads to an elevated observation deck with vast views of the River, Mt. Hood and Oregon. A peaceful wooded trail provides an alternate short cut to the deck. Visitors can also access the dike trail (used for walkers, bicycles and horses), which leads to Captain William Clark Park at Cotton Wood Beach, and views of the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge."

Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge ...
"Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located adjacent to Washougal, on 1,049 acres of former Columbia River floodplain, this diked area consists of shallow ponds, marshes, open fields, and riparian woodlands. While providing an important nesting and wintering area for raptors and waterfowl, it is also at a crossroads of migration routes. Birds that move east and west, through the nearly sea level break in the Cascade Mountains created by the Columbia Gorge, mingle with north/south migrant species. Over 200 species of birds have been recorded from this small area including such west-of-the-Cascades rarities as Prairie Falcon, Black-necked Stilt, American Avocet, Burrowing Owl, Loggerhead Shrike, and Sage Thrasher."
