About Woodland, Washington

Woodland is a city of 6,531 people near the mouth of the Lewis River. Most of the city lies in Cowlitz County, and a small part reaches into Clark County. In 1849 Adolphous Le Lewes, a retired Hudson's Bay Company man, took up a homestead at the river's mouth, and the Lewis River is named for him, not for Meriwether Lewis. Next came two Iowa families joined by marriage. The Solomon Strongs claimed their land in September 1850, and the Squire Bozarths claimed theirs that December.

Squire Bozarth built the first frame house in what is now Woodland and called it Woodland Farm House. A few years later his son, Christopher Columbus Bozarth, opened a store named Woodland after the farm and became the first postmaster, and the town grew up around his store. A.W. Scott platted Woodland on October 14, 1889, the year Washington became a state. It incorporated as a city on March 27, 1906, with L. Hopf as its first mayor.

  • Pekin, the town on stiltsBefore Woodland, trade on the Lewis River bottoms centered on Pekin, where James Woods and F.H. Marsh opened a store and post office in 1867 or 1868. Pekin stood on stilts and flooded nearly every June. Woodland sat higher and closer to the center of the bottoms, and its streets rarely went under. Once Woodland had its own store and post office, the trade moved there, and Pekin is now part of the Woodland Bottoms.
  • A warning from Indian ZackOn March 26, 1856, a party of Yakimas came down to burn out the settlers, in the only Indian attack on record here. Indian Zack, one of the few Cowlitz still living, had warned the settlers ahead of time. They took refuge in the Block House at St. Helens and stayed there until the Yakimas went back east of the Cascade Mountains. A monument to Indian Zack once stood at a water fountain in Horseshoe Lake Park.
  • The Lilac LadyHulda Klager, a German immigrant, came to Woodland when her family bought a farm. A friend's gift of a book on Luther Burbank led her to breed lilacs, and by 1920 she opened her garden each spring for Lilac Week. The 1948 flood killed every plant, but people across the Northwest sent starts, and she reopened in 1950 at 87. The Woodland Federated Garden Club bought the garden after her 1960 death, which joined the National Register in 1975.
  • Planter's Days since 1922Woodland first held Planter's Days in 1922, and no community festival in Washington has run longer without a break. The four days celebrate the finished dikes along the Columbia and Lewis rivers, which stopped the yearly flooding. The festival brings a parade through Old Town, the Firefighters' BBQ, the Frog Jump, rides in Horseshoe Lake Park and, on the last day, a car show.
  • A president lands at the fieldThe river still broke through at times. The 1948 flood was one of the worst in the town's history, and Old Town Woodland was among the hardest hit. Another great flood in 1996 struck mostly the northeast residential part of the city. President Bill Clinton came to see the damage and landed his helicopter on the Woodland High School football field.
