History
Bogachiel State Park lies within the traditional territory of the Quileute Tribe. The Bogachiel River, which runs through the park, derives its name from an English approximation of the Quileute word for the river, meaning "muddy water". The park was established on March 19, 1931, through an act of the Washington State Legislature to set aside certain publicly owned lands for use as state parks. At the time, Washington's recently established state park system had no operating funds, so the agency formed an agreement with the Bogachiel Improvement Club and the Chamber of Commerce of Forks to manage and develop the park.
