History

The Columbia River or Southern District Agency was established in 1854 for the Indians living north of the Columbia River and south of the Skookumchucm and Chehalis Rivers. The agency headquarters was usually at Vancouver, Washington, but was moved to the White Salmon Reservation in 1858.

In 1858, the agency was moved to Fort Simcoe on the Yakima Reservation and thereafter was called the Yakima Agency[1].
