Battle Ground's name refers to an incident that occurred in 1855, when a group of Native Americans being detained at Fort Vancouver staged an escape. In the ensuing skirmish their chief was killed, and a band of volunteer soldiers permitted the escapees to give him the dignity of a traditional burial. The volunteers were subsequently hounded by other soldiers stationed at the fort for not waging battle against the fugitives. Although there never was a “battle ground,” the name was adopted when the town was established in 1902. Learn More...
