County:   Lewis
Visited With:   Sister
City Name History:   An early settler by the name Browning originally called the town Willoway, after his wife's favorite saying, "Where there's a will, there's a way." In 1892 the railroad changed the name to Pamona to distinguish it from the Willapa town site.  Discovery in 1894 of a Pamona post office east of the Cascade Mountains resulted in the railway superintendent's renaming the town for a member of his family - Adna Marian.
