Astoria, Port settlement in Oregon, United States
The city stretches along the southern bank of the Columbia River where it meets the Pacific Ocean, featuring Victorian architecture and maritime installations.
Founded in 1811 by the Pacific Fur Company, Astoria stands as the first permanent American settlement established on the Pacific Coast of North America.
Finnish, Swedish, and Chinese immigrants shaped the local heritage through maritime industries, fishing practices, and traditional celebrations that continue today.
The Port of Astoria serves commercial vessels, while the Astoria-Megler Bridge connects Oregon to Washington State across the Columbia River.
The city rests completely on wooden pilings driven into the riverbank soil, creating an elevated foundation system beneath the entire downtown area.
