ANSWERS: 1

Westport was officially incorporated on June 26, 1914. Names for the area in the past include Peterson's Point, Chehalis City and Ft. Chehalis. The latter name is for a fort established in 1860 before the town was founded. The area was used regularly during the summer by local Native American tribes (most likely the Willapa_BayShoalwater Bay tribe) before Thomas Barker Speake and his family arrived early in the summer of 1857.
