About Waldport, OR

Camp Angel, a Civilian Conservation Corps camp near Waldport, was home to World War II conscientious objectors involved in the arts. In September 1975, Marshall Applewhite gave a lecture in Waldport on UFOs which was attended by roughly 150 people. In the following days, an estimated 20 residents, nearly one out of 30 people who lived in the town, abandoned their homes and possessions and joined Applewhite's cult, Heaven's Gate. An Oregon State Police investigation concluded that no laws had been broken. As of the census of 2010, there were 2,033 people, 974 households, and 530 families living in the city.
