Bachelor Island (Washington)

[3] Most of Bachelor Island is part of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.

[4] Lewis and Clark first called the island "Green Bryor Isd," when they passed it while traveled downriver in 1805.

They changed the name to "Quathlahpotle Island" in 1806, during their return voyage upriver.

The name honored a large village, "Quathlahpotle", of 14 wooden houses and 900 inhabitants on the mainland nearby.
