Hoquiam: A Developing Community Rich in History
The city Hoquiam, which means “hungry for wood”, may be found in Grays Harbor County, Washington State, United States. The name was given by early Indian settlers because of the river that flowed to the Grays harbour. The settlement was eventually dwelled by white settlers in the 1850s because of its wealth and natural resources in game, shellfish, and giant trees. Hoquiam was officially incorporated into a city on May 21, 1890.
