Fort Astoria, Trading post in Clatsop County, United States.
Fort Astoria stands at the entrance of the Columbia River, constructed with bark-covered logs enclosing a stockade and mounted cannons for defense.
The Pacific Fur Company established Fort Astoria in 1811 as the first American-owned settlement on the Pacific coast of North America.
The fort operated with a diverse workforce including Americans, Scots, French Canadians, Native Hawaiians, and Indigenous North Americans in a structured corporate hierarchy.
The National Historic Landmark site contains a reconstructed blockhouse and archaeological remains that document the colonial fur trade activities.
Excavations at the fort revealed numerous artifacts from different periods, including items from the fur trade era and later city developments.
