> The name Humptulips was the name of a band of the Chehalis tribe who lived in the area. The name comes from a local Native American language, meaning 'hard to pole', referring to the difficulty local Native Americans had poling their canoes along the Humptulips River.[3] According to other sources the word means 'chilly region'.[4] It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[5]
