Hoquiam town has a rich and glorious history and all of it built from the lumber of ancient forest that surrounds the entire area of Grays Harbor. Nothing that was planned, started, built or invested in that was not directly connected to or indirectly related to the lumber and shingles industry. From the very moment the first white settlers decided that it was to be their camp in the 1850′s they knew that they were there to stay and stay they did.

In the mid 1800′s white settlers began logging the rich timber forest of the Grays Harbor area, settling and establishing small intermittent logging camps all around the watershed and inner forest. Hoquiam which was probably not yet Hoquiam as we can imagine was an area near the river that made it the focal point of early logging operations, because in those earlier days logs were floated down the river in great log jams to be processed in saw mills that expediently were located near the rivers banks. Surprisingly, even nature itself demonstrated without much modesty the apparent richness of timber in the surrounding forest, since the early occupants of the area the Native Americans already called the river Hoquiam, which literally meant “Hungry for wood”.

It was just a matter of time for other people who wanted to cash in on the abundance of commercially viable forest and in just a few years a large number of saw mills were busily processing wood into their hungry jaws, making Hoquiam a good employment center and business opportunity for those who wanted to provide goods and services to the lumber men and their families who continually poured in to work in the mills and in the logging camps. Some men went in with big capital like Robert and Joseph Lytle who set up the Hoquiam Lumber and Shingle Company in 1902. By 1906 the Lytle brothers ran of the world’s largest cedar shingle manufacturing company. A year later the lumber requirements of the then Northern Pacific Railroad Company brought forth the establishment of the Grays Harbor Lumber Company who made it its business to have a steady supply of lumber for its railroad projects.

The richest of these lumber families was the Polson’s. The family owned two sawmills, a shingle mill, two of the grandest mansions in the area one of which still stands as the Polson museum a National Registries Historical Place. The Polson’s family also operated 20 logging and construction camps, 100 miles of railroad and a vast array and value of logging equipment, producing 300 million feet of logs yearly. Alex Polson, the family patriarch made Hoquiam his home during 1882. Their business concerns extended from logging to real estate.

In 1891, the Lytle brothers Joseph and Robert joined their interest with the Polson Brothers Logging Company, which 12 years later after joining again with another big player the Merill and Ring Corporation was established as the Polson Logging Company, a true industrial giant of that era.

Aside from the big logging firms and exporters that swayed influence all over Grays Harbor, 300 or more family owned logging interest and smaller companies made their living from lumber and wood manufacturing and many hundreds of other enterprises existed, made profit or just survived on the other smaller businesses and enterprises that supported the logging operations and the essential and leisure needs of the loggers themselves. This menagerie of people and business help to form Hoquiam’s identity and soul.

There are so many literature and existing documents that record and preserve the truth about Hoquiam’s logging and lumber past. Anyone can enjoy the wealth of information not only about the interesting lives of the lumber barons with all their wealth and power, but also, fortunately for us, we can also take a peek into the lives of the countless lumberjacks and mill men who truly had lumber in their blood. A proud heritage it is for the town of Hoquiam.
