Frenchtown was a settlement in the Pacific Northwest established by Métis and French Canadian fur traders in the 19th century. It was located in Walla Walla County, Washington, United States. Originally called "le village des Canadiens", it became known as "Frenchtown" by later settlers, similar to other settlements such as Frenchtown, Montana. It has also been referred to as "Walla Walla Frenchtown". The area is currently a historical site maintained by the Frenchtown Historical Foundation. After most French Canadian and Métis residents were expelled in 1855, the area was largely resettled by Americans and the community closest to it was renamed Lowden in 1915.
