An Oregon classic since 1928, Oregon Geographic Names is a comprehensive reference to place names throughout the state. A wide range of readers, from librarians and researchers to travellers and avocational historians, have come to depend on the book's exhaustive and sometimes quirky entries over the years. The seventh edition is significantly expanded, with more than 6,200 entries, arranged alphabetically. Each entry lists the county where the place is located and reports what is known about the origin and meaning of the name. An accompanying CD-Rom holds complete biographical and geographical indexes and maps that show the locations of over 1,600 place names, primarily historic post offices. Lewis A. McArthur published the first edition of Oregon Geographic Names in 1928 and prepared all or most of the next two editions. Lewis L. McArthur, took up the project with the fourth edition of Oregon Geographic Names. Retired from a career as an executive with a Portland-based steel firm, he is active in various preservation projects and serves on the U.S. Board on Geographic Name… (mehr)

An excellent resource covering the origins of many names of towns and geological features around the State of Oregon. Any resident who has been in the state for any significant period would find this book interesting. ( )

My poor book is almost worn out because I've used it as a reference so many times. The author has been able to find the histories of relatively unknown places and towns and has compiled them into a wonder of a book. I live in Oregon and have often wondered how such and such creek or town or mountain happened to be named what it was, so immediately picked up this book and could generally find out why.

On road trips, we take this book along with us so that if we come across say, "Starvation Creek", we can look it up and find out why it was named that.

Excellent reference book, especially to people who live and/or travel in Oregon. ( )
