==Etymology==
There are a few documented instances regarding the choice for the moniker of Napavine. A mention in the records of the Napavine Historical Society states that a J.W. Cutting merged the name in the 1870s from a Newaukum tribal leader named Napawyna. However, there is consideration that the woman may have taken her name after the newly designated town.<ref name="PINF"/> Additional sourcing reports that Scottish immigrant [[James Urquhart]], in platting the area, named the settlement Napavine from the Indian word "Napavoon" meaning "small prairie".<ref name ="HOTPN">""History of the Pacific Northwest Vol. II, pg 611-12, 1889, North Pacific History Company</ref><ref name="PINF"/>

==History==
Settlers began arriving in the Cowlitz area in the early 1850s. In 1883, Urquhart laid out the town<ref name ="HOTPN"/> and Napavine was officially incorporated as a town on November 21, 1913.

The duel between outlaws David Merrill and [[Harry Tracy]], a convicted murderer, took place outside Napavine in late-June or early-July 1902, leading to Merrill's death.{{efn|The date of the duel, based on conflicting reports from the community and Tracy, could have been as early as June 28th or as late as July 2nd. See sources listed.}} The pair were fugitives after escaping from the [[Oregon State Penitentiary]] weeks earlier, traveling into [[Southwest Washington]]. Merrill was found to have been shot in the back and his body, in a state of decomposition, was discovered by a local Napavine woman and her son while picking berries.<ref>{{cite news |title=Merrill's Bullet Ridden Body Found |url=https://www.newspaperarchive.com/us/california/bakersfield/the-daily-californian/1902/07-15/page-1 |access-date=October 23, 2024 |work=[[The Bakersfield Californian|The Daily Californian]] |date=July 15, 1902 |page=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Cudihee Hiding Out The Alleged Pursuer |url=https://www.newspaperarchive.com/us/arizona/phoenix/phoenix-arizona-republican/1902/07-17/page-1 |access-date=October 23, 2024 |work=[[The Arizona Republic|The Weekly Republican]] |date=July 17, 1902 |page=1}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Pat |title=Looking back - 'One convict less' pretty much tells the story of Harry Tracy's death |url=https://www.newspaperarchive.com/us/washington/centralia/centralia-chronicle/2006/09-09/page-3 |access-date=October 23, 2024 |work=The Chronicle |date=September 9, 2006 |page=A3}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Bush |first1=Judd C. |title=Exciting Time 20 Years Ago |url=https://www.newspaperarchive.com/us/washington/chehalis/chehalis-bee-nugget/1923/06-08/page-22 |access-date=October 23, 2024 |work=The Chehalis Bee-Nugget |date=June 8, 1923 |page=13}}</ref> The woman, known as Mary Waggoner,{{efn|Early reporting lists Waggoner's last name as Wagner.

===Festivals and events===
The city annually hosts a one-day Napavine Funtime Festival which was created in 1973 by a local [[Jaycees]] club and has been organized afterwards by two original founding members. The one-day event, which includes a parade, was headlined by a teenage "Princess Napawinah" and was based on an 18th-century [[Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation|Newaukum]] Tribal leader, Napawyna. In 2023, the festival was called into question by local residents and several local Native American groups, including the [[Cowlitz Indian Tribe]], due to the wardrobe displayed by the princess during the festivities. Petitions and concerns cited that the displays of Native American customs and clothing created a sense of [[Pan-Indianism]] and caricature. Doubts were also raised over the veracity of the historical existence of Princess Napawinah as well as her being labeled under a title of European nobility.<ref name="PINF">{{cite news |last1=Vander Stoep |first1=Isabel |title='Playing Indian': Napavine Festival's Princess Napawinah Draws Critique |url=https://www.chronline.com/stories/playing-indian-napavine-festivals-princess-napawinah-draws-critique,321823 |access-date=July 12, 2023 |work=[[The Chronicle (Centralia, Washington)]] |date=July 5, 2023}}</ref> Due to a combination of the recent contentions of stereotyping and dwindling participation in the event, the city council passed a resolution in August 2023 to give the city oversight over, but not ownership of, the Funtime Festival, with attention to change the theme of the event.<ref name="NCCTO"/> In 2024, the parade and festivities were cooperatively organized by the original founding members, a local [[Lions Club]], and the city.
