Clark County

Named for explorer William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, Clark County contains some of the oldest American settlements in Washington state. The major city is Vancouver, also the county seat, joined to Portland on the other side of the Columbia by the Interstate 5 bridge. Its eastern suburbs, like Camas and Washougal, are growing, too, now more accessible by the Interstate 205 bridge to eastern Multnomah County.

North of Vancouver lie Battle Ground, where no battle was fought, and La Center, which did not gets it name from the French.
