The butte is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene. NameThe butte was called Champ-a te or Cham-o-tee by the native Kalapuya, meaning rattlesnake.[3] One popular theory is that Spencer Butte was named for a young Englishman of the Hudson's Bay Company named Spencer, who was said to have been killed by the Kalapuya after climbing the hill alone.[4] Another, less popular theory holds that the butte was named after Secretary of War John C. Spencer in July 1845 by Elijah White.[2][3] Spencer was no longer Secretary of War by 1845, however. In popular culture
