==History==
According to Queets and Quinault legend, river was originally called ''K'witzqu'' or ''quitzqu'', pronounced "Kw-ā-tz", meaning "out of the dirt of the skin". The legend tells of ''Kwate'', the changer, or ''s'qitu'', the Great Spirit and Transformer, came to the mouth of the Queets River. After fording the cold river he rubbed his legs to restore circulation, small rolls of dirt formed under his hand. He threw them into the water and from them a man and a woman came forth, who became the ancestors of the Queets people. Kwate told them they would remain on the river and would be known as ''K'witzqu'', because of the dirt from which your skin was made. According to William Bright the river's name comes from the Quinault word ''/q'ʷícx̣ʷ/'', meaning "dirt".
The name "Queets River" first appeared on the Surveyor General's map of Washington Territory and was later applied to other features. The word "Queets" was derived from the name of the ''Quai'tso'' tribe (Queets). Despite the name Queets River appearing on official maps, settlers called it Big River for many years, in contrast to its tributary the Clearwater River, which was called the Little River.〔
