About Nehalem, OR

Nehalem was named for the Nehalem Indians, who were also known as the Tillamook People. Nehalem began life in the latter portion of the nineteenth century, rapidly thriving with logging, fishing, and shipping. As the once-thriving Northwestern logging industry slowed during the twentieth century, the city's economy also cooled. The city used to stretch over the river on log planks, where a lumber mill cut logs that came down a railroad track on the Nehalem River. Wood pilings that held up this track can be found in the North Fork Nehalem River.
