The site of the city at the confluence of the Calapooia River with the Willamette. In the 19th century, the area was inhabited by Kalapuya, a Penutian-speaking Native American people who inhabited the middle Willamette Valley. The Kalapuya called the area Tekenah, from a word meaning "the deep pool where the rivers meet" (and often humorously translated to "hole in the ground"). The name speficially refers to a location near the confluence of the Calapooia where the current had cut a hole near the bank. It is the earliest known name for the locality, and was also the name for a neighboring Kalapuya settlement as late as the 1850s.
