==History== {{Easy CSS image crop|Image=Amos M. Ball.jpg|crop_bottom_perc=12|crop_left_perc=10|crop_top_perc=5|Location=left|caption=Amos M. Ball|desired_width=150}} Amboy was named by Amos M. Ball, who settled in the area in 1879 and whose family operated the Post Office after it was established in 1880. According to some sources, there were several settlers in the area, including Ball, with the initials A.M.B., who referred to themselves as the A.M. Boys. Reportedly, Ball named the town after that group.<ref>[https://www.sos.wa.gov/legacy/cities_detail.aspx?i=36 "Northern Clark County"] Retrieved October 11, 2019</ref> Another story states that the town was named after Ball's son, referred to by locals as the A.M. Boy.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20191012012932/http://columbiariverimages.com/Regions/Places/amboy.html "Amboy, Washington"]}} Retrieved October 11, 2019</ref> A historical church known as the [[Amboy United Brethren Church]] was built in 1910 and converted into a museum in 2000.
