HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE
Astoria and Clatsop County are rich in historic interest and importance. Early events occurring here had far reaching ef- fects, eventually resulting in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest becoming a part of the United States instead of the possession of a foreign power.
Urged on by the desire to find a fabled "Northwest Passage" by water across the North American continent, Spanish and British explorers had sailed along the Oregon and Washington coastline, but the Columbia River was not discovered until 1792, when Captain Robert Gray of Boston entered the river and named it after his ship, the "Columbia."
In 1804, President Jefferson appointed Captains Meriweather Lewis and William Clark to head an expedition across the west- ern plains and mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clark explored the Lower Columbia region and spent the winter of 1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria.
In 1810, John Jacob Astor of New York organized the Pacific Fur Company to engage in the fur trade on the Columbia River. This company sent the ship "Tonquin" by sea and another party overland, the two to meet at the mouth of the Columbia River. The men in the "Tonquin" arrived at their destination in March, 1811, and built Fort Astoria, the first permanent Ameri-
13

can settlement on the Pacific Coast. After many hardships and loss of lives the overland party arrived in the winter of 1811. Due to the War of 1812 and the loss of relief ships, the fort passed into possession of the British, but was restored to the American flag in 1818.
During the following decades Astoria was the goal of trad- ers, explorers, missionaries and pioneer settlers, and on the shores of the Columbia are the last resting places of many of these early interpid adventurers. These historic events are il- lustrated on the pictorial frieze surrounding the main portion of the Astor Column, a concrete monolith, 125 feet high, located on Coxcomb Hill, overlooking a scenic panorama of mountains, ocean and rivers. This unique monument is the only one of its kind in the United States and attracts thousands of visitors annually.
THE CITY TODAY
Astoria today is a modern city of about 11,000 population, the commercial, financial and shipping center of the Lower Co- lumbia River district of Northwestern Oregon and Southwestern Washington. Most of the Astoria business district was rebuilt following a disastrous fire and its stores and office buildings are a credit to a city of its size.
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fishing industry and along its waterfront are many plants engaged in canning, curing and freezing fish. Here is the largest flour mill in Oregon. Other manufacturers are butter, ice cream, powdered milk, lumber, veneer, fish oils and meal and a number of specialty products. Many of these plants are open to visitors.
Astoria's school system is housed in modern, well equipped buildings. The principal church denominations, leading fraternal organizations, patriotic societies and service clubs are repre- sented in the city's social life. The finest turf athletic field in the state and other playgrounds provide facilities for many out- door sports. Water sports enthusiasts find ideal conditions for motor boats and sail boats. The Astoria Annual Regatta is the outstanding water sports carnival of the Northwest.
Astoria is located at the confluence of the Columbia River and Young's Bay, about ten miles from the mouth of the river. The city is at the junction of two transcontinental motor routes- U. S. Highway No. 30, starting on the Atlantic Coast and ending at Astoria, and U. S. Highway No. 101, paralleling the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Canada. Other modern, improved high-
14
(1936) R. L. POLK & CO.'S
ways lead from Astoria into the farming and timber districts of the city's trade area. Pasenger stage lines operate on all main highway routes. Railroad service is provided by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad Company, owned jointly by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
At the larger waterfront docks ocean liners load for ports around the world. A busy fleet of river craft carries passengers and freight between Astoria and Columbia River towns. Fast, frequent ferry services across the Columbia River connect the highway systems of Oregon and Washington.
Astoria's hotels, restaurants, garages and a modern retail shopping district furnish a complete, satisfactory service to the traveling public.
BASIC INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fishing industry. Plants located in or near Astoria produce canned, frozen and cured salmon, fish meal and oil with an estimated value of $10,000,000 annually. Salmon are caught by seines and nets in the Columbia River or by hook and line in the Pacific Ocean. Pilchards, used for fish meal and oil, are taken with purse seines by boats operating in the Pacific Ocean beyond the three-mile limit. About two thousand boats of various sizes and types are engaged in the Columbia River fishing industry.
Timber, several varieties, all growing to immense size, forms the basis of a large logging and lumbering industry in Clatsop County, Fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar grow thickly on the slopes of the Coast Range. The logs are hauled by train or motor truck to tidal streams, then towed to Columbia River sawmills. There they are made into every kind of lumber or converted to other wood products, such as veneer, plywood, shingles, pulp and paper, eventually going to markets all over the world.
Agriculture-highly specialized, producing top quality, high value crops -- is concentrated mostly along the Columbia River and its tributaries and in coastal river valleys. The principal agricultural activity is dairying, favored by a long period of green pasture, large yields of root and forage crops. Clatsop's dairy farms are stocked with disease-free herds of high produc- ing cows.
Other important agricultural products are eggs, poultry, bent grass seed, cranberries, bulbs and vegetables. Fresh garden peas are shipped by carloads to eastern markets, where their ex- ceptional quality brings high prices.

CLIMATE
The geographical location of Astoria produces a mild, equa- ble climate, spring-like during most of the year. There are no extremes of heat or cold. Temperatures below freezing are usually of only a few days duration and there are no summer "heat waves" or drought periods. The average frostless growing season is nearly ten months. The mean maximum temperature in July and August is 69 and the mean minimum temperature in December is 43. The average annual rainfall is about 76 inches, most of which falls between November 1st and March 31st.
RECREATIONAL ATTRACTIONS
Astoria is at the center of a beach resort recreational area along the Oregon and Washington coasts north and south of the Columbia River. The Clatsop beaches offer the vacationist and tourist unequalled opportunity for rest and recreation. South- ward from the Columbia River for thirty miles reach the smooth, surfwashed sands of the beaches, inviting pleasure seeking hu- manity to enjoy the variety of attractions with which Nature so richly endowed this section of Oregon.
Along this stretch of interesting ocean front are located the resort communities of Seaside, Gearhart and Cannon Beach. There are accommodations to satisfy any individual desire or fit any expense budget-modern hotels, comfortable cottages, auto courts or camping sites. The restaurants and markets offer all kinds of fresh sea food and garden vegetables.
The Pacific Ocean itself is the magnet for many visitors, with the invigorating tang of its salt breezes, the excitement of a plunge in its tumbling waves or the relaxation of basking in the sunshine on its clean, white sandy shore. The ideal summer weather is particularly delightful, with azure sky, soft days, always-cool nights calling for open fires and bringing deep restful slumber. Every season of the year has its own peculiar charms, showing ocean, streams, woods and mountains in a variety of moods and changing colors.
The Astoria Chamber of Comerce maintains an information service for tourists and others interested in Astoria and Clatsop County. Booklets, maps and other material are available free to inquirers.
