Tumalo is an unincorporated community in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States on U.S. Route 20 between Sisters and Bend. It is south of Eagle Crest Resort. In the Klamath language, ''tumolo'' means "wild plum," a plentiful shrub in south central Oregon. ''Tumola'' means "ground fog," which may have described Tumalo Creek. ''Tumallowa,'' the original name of Tumalo Creek, means "icy water."〔(OregonLive.com op-ed ) by Thom Powell〕 (2 below ) The town was originally called Laidlaw, after W. A. Laidlaw, the town promoter. The Tumalo Irrigation Project and Tumalo post office had been established in 1904. Although the project ended and the Tumalo post office closed in 1913, by 1915 residents of Laidlaw changed the town name to Tumalo. ==Notable residents== *Cylvia Hayes, domestic partner to former Governor John Kitzhaber *Benjamin Percy, writer *Ben Westlund, politician 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tumalo, Oregon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
