Adna is an unincorporated community located in Lewis County, Washington.[1] Due to its rural setting with little settlement concentration, it did not meet qualifications as a census-designated place, a program used by the U.S. Census Bureau for unincorporated communities.
Etymology[]
An early resident with the last name Browning named the town "Willoway" for the saying "Where there's a will, there's a way", his wife's favorite saying. In 1892, the town's name was changed by the railroad to Pamona to distinguish it from the Willapa townsite. Then in 1894, to distinguish it from another Pamona east of the Cascades, the town was renamed by a railway superintendent on behalf of a family member, Adna Marian.[2]
