Things To Do

Astoria, Oregon, founded in 1811 by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company, stands as the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. Initially a hub for the fur trade, it later attracted settlers via the Oregon Trail, evolving into a bustling community driven by fishing, logging, and shipping industries. The completion of the Astoria-Megler Bridge in 1966 enhanced its role as a key port city. Astoria's maritime heritage is evident in landmarks like the Columbia River Maritime Museum and the Astoria Column. Filming of "The Goonies" in 1985 further highlighted its allure. Despite economic shifts and natural disasters, Astoria remains a vibrant coastal town, blending its historic charm with a thriving arts scene and modern amenities, ensuring its legacy endures.
