The lake has volcanic origin and is believed to be within the Maar volcano, and is believed to be of volcanic origin. This type of volcano is the result of hot lava or magma moving near the surface of the Earth and then coming into contact with underground water. It is believed that this led to a large steam explosion, which left a crater that later formed the lake.

The area is named after the battle that the settlers of Fort Vancouver fought in 1855 between US Army soldiers and the Klickitat Indians. He allowed the Indians to leave the fort for a few days before returning to bury the chief they had accidentally killed.

The name prevailed and the Indians returned peacefully and faithfully to their word.
