Lewis County, located in the state of Washington, was officially established on December 19, 1845, making it one of the state's oldest counties. It was named after Meriwether Lewis, the famous explorer from the renowned Lewis and Clark Expedition that took place between 1804 and 1806. The county was initially part of the Oregon Territory; however, it later became part of the newly formed Washington Territory in 1853.
In its early days, Lewis County was home to various indigenous tribes, including the Chehalis and Cowlitz people, who relied on fishing, hunting, and gathering local resources for survival. The first European settlers arrived in Lewis County in the early 19th century as fur trappers and traders.
During the mid-19th century, Lewis County experienced a significant population boom due to the gold rush in nearby California and the Oregon Trail, which brought numerous settlers to the area. In the decades that followed, the county continued to grow, with agriculture, logging, and mining becoming major industries that drove the local economy.
One fun fact about Lewis County is that it is home to the popular 14,411-acre Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, which was established after the catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980. This eruption was the deadliest and most destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States, leading to 57 fatalities and causing massive devastation to the surrounding landscape. Today, the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument serves as a valuable scientific and educational resource that showcases the power of nature and the ongoing process of ecological recovery.
