The story behind Battle Ground’s unusual moniker is that it was a literal battleground and sometimes straightforward naming conventions make the most sense.

It became a battleground in 1855 due to the Vancouver Barracks army, which made the transition to a United States Army post, ending up in a standoff versus the Klickitat Tribe. Headed by Chief Umtuch or Umtux, the Klickitat Tribe went northward. Meanwhile, when the Fort Vancouver Community discovered that the “Indians” were out of their reservations, they formed an army headed by Captain William Strong to pursue the escaped natives.

After much hardship, the Vancouver military force and the Klickitat Tribe met head-to-head at what would eventually be known as the City of Battle Ground. Negotiations happened afterward that led to the Klickitat Tribe turning to their barracks, but one of the men of Captain Strong had a shot fired that killed Chief Umtuch.
