Cedar
Rapids precedes this
Cedar is any of several evergreen coniferous trees known for their aromatic, durable wood and distinctive reddish-brown bark.
The wood resists rot and insects, making it prized for outdoor construction, closet linings, and storage chests—hence the familiar scent of a cedar chest.
True cedars belong to the genus Cedrus, native to mountainous regions of the Mediterranean and Himalayas, though the name is applied loosely to various similar trees in North America.
The cabin was built entirely of cedar. (Capitalized Cedar appears as a place name and given name.)
