Lewis River: Once spelled Lewes, the river is named for Adolphus Lewis, or Lewes, a former Hudson’s Bay employee who changed its name from Cathlepootle to his own. He had no relationship to Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition. The name Cathlepootle was given by Lewis and Clark who named it for the tribe living along its banks. The word means “People who live along the rocky river.”
