ISBN:
Category : History

Pages : 232
Book Description
Beach of Heaven is a history of the earliest settled areas in Washington. Birthplace of the state's canned salmon industry and cooperative extension movement, Wahkiakum County has a historic significance extending beyond its borders. Today it stands at the cusp of change as the rural occupations of fishing, farming, and logging, upon which the county has depended, suffer from outside influences and demographic shifts.

Naselle-Grays River Valley
Author: Donna Gatens-Klint
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738558721
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Naselle-Grays River Valley is located in western Wahkiakum County and southern Pacific County, with the mighty Columbia River running the full length of the region. The Chinook Indians made the valley their home long before Lewis and Clark came down the Columbia on their expedition to find the Pacific Ocean. The first white settlers came in the mid-1800s, establishing the communities of Naselle, Grays River, Deep River, Brookfield, Pillar Rock, Dahlia, Knappton, and Altoona. In 1866, William Hume built the first salmon cannery on the Columbia, and local economies flourished with 35 canneries in operation at one time. When the Ocean Beach Highway replaced the river as the major thoroughfare in 1924, growth shifted elsewhere. Naselle, one of the smaller communities in the late 1800s, is today the largest and only surviving town, thanks to the many Finnish families that homesteaded the area.
