Things to do in Astoria

Astoria was founded in 1811 as a fur trading post and is the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. It sits on steep hills above the mouth of the Columbia River, where ships cross one of the most dangerous river bars in the world, and the town’s maritime identity is still central: bar pilots, fishing fleets, cargo ships and the Coast Guard all work these waters. Victorian homes, restored canneries turned into hotels and breweries, and a working waterfront give Astoria a character all its own, and it has appeared in films including The Goonies.
