Steamboats were launched on the river beginning with the combination sail and steam sidewheel ship, "Beaver," which was sailed in 1834 from London, England by the Hudson Bay Company. When it took its first voyage up the River, it went by the future site of Columbia City. An Indian fishing village known as "Cumahi" was the only thing they could see. River trade and travel continued to help the area to develop. The Caples Brothers of this city operated the Sternwheeler, "Metlako," taking both passengers and freight from Portland, Oregon to Woodland, Washington and other ports along the way.
