THE DALLES, OREGON- The Indians called the area "Win-Quatt", which means "surrounded by rock walls. "Les Grande Dalles" was the french name for this area of the Columbia River. The name literally means "flagstone", referring to the basalt rocks that formed the constricted channel of rapids through which the Columbia River flowed. Prior to the building of The Dalles Dam, the "Long Narrows" and the "Short Narrows" funneled the mighty Columbia through an area only 75 feet wide, posing a serious hazard for early pioneers.
