Camas was named after a root found local to the area by lewis and clarke. The root is never used or eaten because it tastes awful and leaves people sick. Still don't know why they would choose something like that.

Only the whitest city in all of america. The amount of diversity in the city can be counted on one hand. But because of the lack of diversity it is a very affluent town with a lot of stuck up pricks.

Also the mill is the trademark of the city with the towns highschool name "the papermakers" with "the mean machine" as their mascot.

With the lack of diversity the town makes up for in stink. The one thing that people think of when they hear camas is stink. But most of the locals "can't smell anything".

Camas is 90% white people and 10% everybody else. So yeah, pretty white. The interesting thing about Camas is, if you live there you're either super rich or poor. Camas has some cool views it can offer like a trail around Lacamas lake or the estates close to the Columbia River. But if you want to live close to one of those sights, they'll cost you a fortune.

Camas people are generally nice and are quite accepting of your race or your culture. Their high school has a good graduation rate with good highly capable programs. The high school has a good emphasis on acceptance and STEM education. The only problem is the mill downtown where most of the pollution occurs. But all in all, a good town to live in.
