" How The Name Came About " ?

The La Conner Tribe name came about in 1869 from a man who was from Olympia, and bought the land, his name was john. S Conner, John used his last name to create the tribe name. Johns main reason for having the "LA" Conner was to name it after his wife Louisa Ann Conner, you see the "LA" is his wife initials for Louisa Ann. Pretty cool ,I've always thought the La in La Conner was just to make it sound good,never thought it was used to shorten someones name.
