Response: In Place Names of Washington by Robert Hitchman {WSHS, 1985, p. 55} Cook is described as: [S.27;T.3N;R.9E] A "community on north bank of Columbia River, 7 miles west of White Salmon, near the mouth of Little White Salmon River, southeast Skamania co. In the days of stern-wheelers on the river, this was a busy landing. The name is for charles a. Cook, who homesteaded the ground on which the town was built. It was applied to the post office when suggested by the first postmaster, S.R. Harris." In the WPA guide to Washington, [p.402] it is described as a "once busy boat landing, [Cook] is composed of a schoolhouse, a general store, and a few other buildings, all sitting on a steep hill. The town looks down on the Columbia, flowing in blue peacefulness after its turbulent course through The Dalles." WPA {WSHS}. Washington: A Guide to the Evergreen State. Portland: Binfords & Mort, 1941,72. It is still located in the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas found in most libraries.
