City Name
History:
|
Named
for the Tsinuk Indian tribes that occupied the lower banks of the Columbia
River. Their strategic position established them as traders with
inland and coastal tribes prior to the arrival of the white man, and thus
their language, augmented by French and English, became the Chinook jargon
used by early traders and pioneers. As a result the word chinook
is frequently used in the Pacific Northwest as a term for innumerable
geographic points, for a warm snow-melting wind, for extra large King
salmon, etc. |
