Intrigued by my observations I have simply driven to Kalama several times now for just exploring. Location. location. location! Advantage! Wedged between the Columbia River and foothills of the Northern Cascade Mountain range. Kalamas development began just because of its location. A river for transportation and huge amounts of timber attracted early settlers. The actual source of the name "Kalama" is questioned; from the name of a native settler from Hawaii to two possible derivations from Native American names. however. in 1870 the local director of the Western Division of the Northern Pacific Railroad named the settlement Kalama and that was that. This location also prompted initially a rail road ferry from Goble. Oregon across the Columbia River to Kalama which enabled trains to continue northward to Tacoma. Washington. And not to mention salmon; early demand for and plentiful supplies led to fishing to feed workers and canneries to export. Again. the location on the Columbia was vital. This book details the history of this town and its residents determined survival and prosperity.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love this bookBy Cody W. TraubI love this book.
