Astoria

Astoria is the oldest permanent settlement on the Pacific coast and had the first U.S. post office west of the Rocky Mountains. Astoria is named after John Jacob Astor, who was the U.S.’s first multimillionaire and whose fur company founded Fort Astoria in 1811. Both Astoria, Oregon, and Astoria, New York, are named after John Jacob Astor. Today, Astoria, Oregon, is a vibrant town fueled by small businesses and tourism. The town is rooted in the logging and fishing industries in addition to port activities. Bordered by the Columbia River, much of Astoria offers views of the expansive river and into Washington state. Some of the western portions of the city even offer a glimpse of the Columbia River Bar running into the Pacific Ocean in the distance. The Astoria-Megler Bridge crosses the Columbia River into Washington.
