Denise,  here are some web sites that tell some history about each Daytons
in OR & WA.
yes, I agree It is interesting that Mr. Palmer would be involved in both
towns with the same name & especially each Dayton named for a different
person. I was curious on the meaning of founder so I it looked up... the
meaning of founder>>One who establishes something or formulates the basis

The town was named by Joel Palmer and Andrew Smith after Smith's former home
in Dayton, Ohio. The town developed a waterfront along the Yamhill River and
became an important shipping point. At first, boats were propelled by
Indians pushing on the banks with long sticks. Soon steam replaced the hand
power and a brisk trade developed with the three-times-per-week boat trips.

It is possible I have gotten incorrection information but I had that Jesse
Day filed a plot plan for Dayton WA in 1871 with the Columbia County Audtior
  I had kind of assumed perhaps that the city was named after Jesse Day.  I
haven't looked into Joel Palmer in Dayton WA but I have associated him with
Dayton Oregon.  If I remember correctly there is a restaurant in Dayton
Oregon in the "Palmer House".

I know there is a town of Dayton, Oregon & did you know that Joel Palmer
founded both towns of Dayton in both Washington & Oregon?
But my family is from Dayton, Columbia Co., Washington. I have now really
confused the issue.. I'm sure <G>
