Bits ‘n’ Pieces: Fisher’s Landing goes way, way back By Mike Bailey - 07/09/2008 The Columbian More Info on This Book: Fishers Landing
The area once had its own mailing address and had a substantial population compared with other communities in the area. In her book “Fishers Landing” (Arcadia Publishing, $19.99), Fairhurst chronicles this part of the county that runs from the Columbia River to Mill Plain Boulevard along the Southeast 164th Avenue corridor. Fairhurst, the author of a similar book on Washougal, used archival photographs and information gathered in oral histories of ancestors of families who settled the area in the mid-1800s for the book. “Fisher’s Landing was the original settlement,” she said. “There was no Camas. Washougal and Vancouver were just getting started when Fisher’s Landing was a thriving port.” Fairhurst, who has lived in Camas for 10 years, said her research led her to go against standard spelling of Fisher’s with the apostrophe. “When you look at the way it was spelled then, it was known as Fishers,” she said.
