Canemah means "canoe place," a stop along the Willamette River above the huge Willamette Falls. The name also refers to the Indian tribe who claimed the fishing rights to this rich part of the river and demanded payment from other tribes to fish and trade at the falls. Unfortunately for this tribe, the payment became too much for other tribes who eventually overran the Canemahs. Later this area became a small community and developed into a major site for sternwheel river boat construction. The small community, with its pioneer cemetery, still stands west of Oregon City along the Willamette River.
