Devils Jump was the name given to the rapids in the early 19th century. When drilling a well nearby to look for salt water, one of the holes was so deep that it went into oil. Never having seen it before, the drillers were convinced they had drilled into hell. They sent a raftsman down river to try and identify what it was. He was tossed out of the raft by the rapids and on his return claimed that the Devil had jumped from a large rock, sunk the raft and stole his property.
