16 "Squaw" Names Changed

By , About.com GuideJanuary 26, 2006

Follow me on:

The U.S. Board on Geographic Names approved name changes for sixteen toponyms with the word "squaw" in their name in Central Oregon today. The Oregon legislature determined five years that all Oregon place names using the word "squaw" would be changed. The state and the Board have additional names left to change.
