Littell is an unincorporated community in Lewis County, Washington, United States, located off Washington State Route 6 between the towns of Adna and Claquato.[1]

The Willapa Hills Trail passes thru the area.[2]

History

Two versions of who created the town exist. A manager of the Hill Logging Company, Harry J. Syverson, asserted in 1912 to have founded the town[3] however there are sourced claims that a local businessman, Curt Littell, agreed to call the post office under his name in 1902.[4] A post office was moved from the nearby town of Claquato in 1903 and an opera house was built in the town in 1904.[5]

The community was known for its timber production, having two sawmills during its peak at the beginning of the 20th century. Littell grew large enough to contain a school and church, and had a large Japanese population, many of which were employed by the mills. After a destructive fire to one mill in 1911, the second mill closed eventually thereafter and the town began to wane, leaving a few residents. Most of the original buildings and its downtown core are lost.[6]

A pedestrian bridge in Littell was built starting in 2021. The span would allow users of the Willapa Hills Trail to pass over the highway to lessen vehicular accidents.[7] The $3.3 million project[8] was completed in June 2023 and the overpass was named in honor of the community.[9]
