Wooden sign telling the history of Tokeland Hotel, dated 2014. Tokeland, Washington, USA. "On this site in 1858, George and Charlotte Brown settled among the Shoalwater Indians led by Chief Toke. The Browns homesteaded 1400 acres[,] raised crops and livestock and traded with the Native Americans. Later, the Brown's daughter Elizabeth and her husband William Kindred, built this structure for a home and haven to travelers. / With their daughters Maud and Elizabeth, they purchased additional land, developed a golf course, gun club, dairy and post office. / Tokepoint was an important social center for the Pacific Northwest, until a violent 1932 storm destroyed many of the facilities. This, coupled with the Depression marked the end of an era. / Today the Tokeland Hotel is rekindling the Kindred's tradition of the warm hospitality, delightful entertainment, fine dining and restful lodging. We invite you to share this heritage and tradition." Tokeland Hotel, Tokeland, Washington, USA.
