Ostrander, Washington
"Ostrander, a town and creek in the central part of Cowlitz County, both named in honor of Dr. Nathaniel Ostrander, who homesteaded there. He was a famous pioneer physician who later moved to Olympia where he died on February 7, 1902.....In May, 1916, Justice of the Peace S.W. Holmes wrote from Ostrander that the honor was for Abel Ostrander, which is probably a mistake as to the first name." Origin of Washington Geographic Names, 1923
