history

Ironically, the unique name "battle ground" (literally "battle ground") is derived from not participating in the battle.

In 1855, the soldiers in the neighborhood () were in war when living in Yakima (()). The nervous settlers organized volunteer groups to protect the base that was short of manpower. Volunteers who were afraid of friendly () living in the watershed to participate in the uprising ordered to move to a garrison near Vancouver Station.

Captain William Strong Captain William Strong when some of the Cricketat tribes ran away, Led the people of the volunteer and went to persuade that the Cliqkitat tribe returned to the garrison. In the vicinity of the present battle ground, Captain Strongnard caught up with Cricketato tribe and discussed not to restrain by battle but to peacefully return to base under agreement. Somehow this time, the Uktuch chief of the Cricketato tribe (Chief Umtuch) Was killed. There is a theory that the cause of death is unknown, the theory that it was killed by a soldier, and the theory that it died by the erroneous firing of a family. In any case, the Crickytot promised to return to the base after a ceremony of burial for a few days.

Migrants wanted a battle, and when Captain Strong returned by hand, the migrants accused Captain Strong as a coward. As promised, the Cricketytas came back to the base, but the accusations to Capt. Strong never ceased, and women at the base honored his achievements and of various colors (Women's clothing) I gave him a ridiculous gift. Later, the land I met with this cricketato tribe became known as "the battlefield of Captain Strong" and eventually became the "place of battle" (Battle Ground) was abbreviated.
