Excerpt: ...at the time the town of Tacoma was located and named by the N. P. R. R. Co., for the purpose of bringing into note its western terminus. Yours Respectfully, EDWIN EELLS, U. S. Indian Agent. STATEMENT OF REV. PETER STANUP. Ta-ko-man is a name used by many different Indian tribes of this Territory, with the same meaning and a slight variation of pronunciation by each different tribe. It is the name or word from which Tacoma was derived. It originated among the inland Indians. The meaning of Ta-ko-man is a high, treeless, white or light colored peak or mound. The name is applicable to any peak or mound as described, but is generally used for one that is distinguished, or highly honored. And Squa-tach, to climb, and Sba-date mountain, are mostly used for all mountains and peaks. The individual name of Mt. Tacoma is Twhauk, which was derived from Twheque, snow, and Pg 58 Swheque ad. Bright, clear, cloudless sky. Ta-ko-man is mostly used for the Mt. Tacoma, as it is held with much respect and esteemed by nearly all the Indians of the Northwest. The reason for conferring the great honor upon Twhauk, is that the second syllable ko, means water, corresponding with the water, or little lake on top of the mountain, and also in that lake is a great abundance of valuable shells, from which the Indians made their nose and ear-rings, and other valuable jewelry. Pg 59 THOUGHTS ON THE NAME "TACOMA." This beautiful name of the city whose rapid and marvellous growth and development have been unparalleled even in our Western civilization, is a pure invention. Its very euphony divests it of all claim as the Indian nomination of Old Mount Rainier, the name conferred by the illustrious circumnavigator, George Vancouver, borne for a century upon the map of the world. Tacoma is a word of extremely modern origin, invented, or used first by Lieut. Theodore Winthrop, U. S. Army, in his readable book
