Chinookville WA was an indian settlement that was occupied by the tribe of
Chinook Indians, numbering in the few hundreds, by the time the Lewis and Clark
had reached this part of their journey. In Chinookville the Hudson Bay Company
had found a proper location for their trading post (1840), and had made well
with their trading activities in this setting. Back in the early 1850s the
township was named the county seat for a while. Although Chinookville, near
Point Ellice, was a going concern in those early years, several visits from
Mother Nature have now washed the area into the water.
Chinookville hosts the oldest cemetery of the county. All burials here were
before 1900, as far as known today, and the cemetery was known to have been
fenced in at one time. After being washed away, it was all but forgotten until
1964, when the new land owner was grading a hillside and happened to hit a
grave, unearthing the occupant.
Comcomcally, an Indian chief, had two sons that were buried here, along with
some thirty others. Below are the only other known burials.
