| MENLO | |
 Menlo is a small community in Willapa Valley and home to Pacific County Fairgrounds. Around 1851, Captain Herman Croker had a claim on the Willapa River near the future site of Menlo. In November 1855, members of the Keil Colony (link to Willie Keil's gravesite) arrived in the valley and filed Donation Land Claims throughout the valley. When a post office was established on September 5, 1894, the department decided on the name "Menlo". The name was taken from the sign settler John Brophy had erected to advertise his real estate development in the area. The sign originally read "Menlo Park" but had been moved around the valley so much only "Menlo" remained when the post office adopted the name. (Thanks to Pacific County Historical Society) |
