Its name is the Salishan and Chinook Jargon word for "berry". Olalla has some small claim to fame as the location of " Starvation Heights ", a sanitarium owned and operated by Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard . Dr. Hazzard's practice of starvation to cure one's ills resulted in the death of a visiting English heiress in 1911 , and the conviction of Dr. Hazzard for her murder. The original bathtub where Hazzard performed autopsies is still in the house, which has a family residing there. Olalla author Gregg Olsen wrote about Starvation Heights in his award-winning book of the same name.
