Brief
History:
On March 9, 1854, Skamania
County was split from the original Clark
County. Also in 1854, Walla Walla County
was split from the new Skamania
County. After that, Skamania County
retained its shape, including through the
period after Washington became the
42nd state of the Union in 1889. An early
county seat was Fort Cascades, built
to protect the Columbia River, but
the county seat has been in Stevenson
since 1893.
