hile we have subscribed to other directory services,
your product is far superior in accuracy, readability

“We purchase a copy of the Polk City Directory every
year because it helps our office function effectively. I use
it at least weekly to find information about community
leaders, members or visitors. The occupation and name
of spouse data has proven to be very beneficial.”
Pastor James W. White, Jr.
St. Giles Presbyterian Church
Raleigh, NC
“‘When developing databases for use with our target-
ed direct mail projects, we find that the Polk City
Directory is far more comprehensive than any other
source. We find tt particularly useful to know the
number of employees each business has — since many
of our products are primarily useful to businesses of
certain size ranges.”
Wes Stant, President
The Stant Agency, Inc.

“The Polk City Directory has been a big help to
our business. We use it to apply information to
contracts which are incomplete, to locate people
and for cross-referencing purposes.”
John Mellor, Vice President

“The Polk City Directory has provided invaluable ser-
vice to the city fire department for years. For example,
in preparation of our data bank for the Emergency
911 System, the book was the correcting guide for
street and house number information”

General Review
Astoria and Clatsop County are rich in historic interest and importance. Early events occurring here had far
reaching effects, eventually resulting in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest becoming a part of the United States
instead of the possession of a foreign power.
ge gy ie ted 1 epee Sh pen6 hire pe ee
Urged on by the desire to find a fabled "Northwest Passage” by water across the North American continent,
Spanish and British explorers had sailed along the Oregon and Washington coastline, but the Columbia River was
not discovered until 1792, when Captain Robert Gray of Boston entered the river and named it after his ship, the
"Columbia".
In 1804, President Jefferson appointed Captains Meriweather Lewis and William Clark to head an expedition
across the western plains and mountains to the Pacific Ocean. Lewis and Clark explored the Lower Columbia
region and spent the winter of 1805-1806 at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria.
Fort Clatsop, a national memorial park, the 1805-06 headquarters of Lewis & Clark near Astoria was rebuilt in
its exact replica in 1955, and is one of the finest tourist attractions on the Pacific Coast today. Located on the exact
site of the original fort, 3 miles east of Highway 101 between Astoria and Warrenton.
In 1810, John Jacob Astor of New York, organized the Pacific Fur Company to engage in the fur trade on the
Columbia River. This company sent the ship "Tonquin" by sea and another party overland, the two to meet at the
mouth of the Columbia River. The men in the "Tonquin" arrived at their destination in March, 1811, and built Fort
Astoria, the first permanent American settlement on the Pacific Coast. After many hardships and loss of lives the
overland party arrived in the winter of 1811. Due to the War of 1812 and the loss of relief ships, the fort passed
into the possession of the British, but was restored to the American flag in 1818.
Astoria, today, is a modern city of about approximately 10,050 population, the commercial, financial and shipping
center of the Lower Columbia River district of Northwestern Oregon and Southwestern Washington. Most of the
Astoria business district was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in 1922 and its stores and office buildings are a
credit to a city of its size.
Ocean liners load for worldwide ports at the larger waterfront dock. Astoria Bridge (4.1 mile-long) across the
Columbia River, connects the highway system of Oregon and Washington.
Astoria's hotels, restaurants, garages and a modern retail shopping district furnish a complete service to the
traveling public.
Basic Industrial Resources
Astoria is the headquarters of the Columbia River fishing industry. Plants located in or near Astoria with a value
of $9 million commercial buildings process salmon, crab, bottomfish and shrimp.
Astoria and the surrounding area's economic base relies heavily on its natural resources. The basic industries are
forestry and forest products, commercial fishing, and tourism followed by shipping agriculture and government.
Timber, several varieties, all growing to immense size, forms the basin of a large logging and lumbering industry
in Clatsop County. Fir, hemlock, spruce and cedar grow thickly on the slopes of the Coastal Range. The logs are
hauled by motor truck to tidal streams, then towed to Columbia River sawmills. There they are made into every
kind of lumber or converted to other wood products, such as veneer, plywood, shingles, pulp and paper, eventually
going to markets all over the world.
Logs and some containerized cargo are shipped through the deepwater port of Astoria.
Astoria is Clatsop County's trade and service center and serves as the regional governmental center with the
Clatsop County Courthouse, Clatsop Community College and regional State and Federal offices.
Agriculture-highly specialized, producing top quality, high value crops-is concentrated mostly along the Columbia
River and its Tributaries and in coastal river valleys. The principal dairy farms are stocked with herds of high
producing agricultural activity. Dairying and beef cattle are favored by a long period of green pasture large yields
of root and forage crops.
Agriculture is a small component of the county's economy.
Activities include dairying, mink ranching, cattle and raising of horticulture crops and specialty products such as
