Etymology
Named for its wooded setting by Christopher Columbus Bozarth, the community's first merchant and postmaster. Identically or similarly named unincorporated communities (without post offices) with the same name source exist in Pierce, Snohomish, Island, and Grays Harbor counties. The community's name is derived from the name of Christopher Columbus, the first European to reach the U.S., and his wife, who was the first female postmaster in the area. The town has no post offices, but does have a post office in the town center. The name was given to the community by Columbus at the suggestion of his wife at the request of the first postmaster, who lived in the nearby town of Columbus, Washington, and was a member of the town's first community council. The city's name means "wooded place" or "place of wooded trees" in Spanish. The word "bozarth" is Spanish for "wood" and means "forest" in English, which is the same language as the town name. It is also known as "Bozarth" and "Bojarth" in the Spanish-language version of the word "Bozarth", which means "bewildered" or "bereft". The town's name was first used by Columbus to refer to the area's wooded area, and later by the postmaster for its post office, which was located in the center of the community. It was named after the town.
