Koksilah River

The Koksilah River (/koʊkˈsaɪlə/) is a river on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, flowing northeast to enter Cowichan Bay just southeast of the City of Duncan.

The name is derived from that of the Hwulqwselu people, one of the groups today represented by the Cowichan Tribes band government.

A settler in the 1880s, Jonathan Elliott of Devonshire, had married the chief's daughter.

Another version of the meaning, by a Tzouhalem band member given in 1959, is "poling up the river".
