Washington Territorial Legislature created Chehalis (becomes Grays Harbor) County out of Thurston on April 14, 1854. Chehalis encompassed most of southwest Washington. The legislators placed the county seat at Bruceport on Willapa (Shoalwater) Bay, very remote for the Chehalis River settlers. In 1860, the Legislature settled the boundary between Pacific County and Chehalis County. In 1915, the county changed its name to Grays Harbor eliminating some confusion since the city of Chehalis was in Lewis County (Source: The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History, HistoryLink.org).
