Kalama (kaw-law-maw) is a city in Cowlitz County, Washington, United States. It is ration of the Longview, Washington Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 2,959 as of the 2020 census.
James W. Phillips’ Washington State area Names states, “General J.W. Sprague of the Northern Pacific Railroad named the town in 1871 for the Indian word calama, meaning “pretty maiden.” There is an further story: Gabriel Franchère, in 1811, wrote of the Indian village at the mouth of the Kalama River, adding that it was called Thlakalamah (this relation predates all of the others).
Kalama was first arranged by Native Americans, particularly members of the Cowlitz Indian Tribes. The first white settler recorded was in 1853. That first settler was Ezra Meeker and his family. Only one year later, Meeker moved to north Puyallup, Washington, but he sold his Donation Land Claim to a Mr. Davenport, who, with a few others, permanently decided in the Kalama area. In in advance 1870, Northern Pacific Railway scouts came to Cowlitz County to locate an ideal terminus along the Columbia River. After a failed negotiation for a Donation Land Claim in Martin’s Bluff, four miles south of Kalama, Northern Pacific officials purchased 700 acres in Kalama for the terminus of the supplementary railroad as skillfully as a new headquarters. The population swelled gone employees of the Northern Pacific Railway.
Kalama was no question a Northern Pacific railroad creation. It was unofficially born in May 1870 taking into account the Northern Pacific railroad turned the first shovel of dirt. Northern Pacific built a dock, a sawmill, a car shop, a roundhouse, a turntable, hotels, a hospital, stores, homes. In just a few months in 1870, the in action population skyrocketed to nearly 3,500 and the town had supplementary tents, saloons, a brewery, and a gambling hall. Soon the town had a motto: “Rail Meets Sail”. Recruiters went to San Francisco and recruited Chinese labor, who moved to their own Chinatown in a portion of Kalama now called China Gardens. The population of Kalama peaked at 5,000 people, but in before 1874, the railroad moved its headquarters to Tacoma, and by 1877, only 700 people remained in Kalama.
