Founded in 1811, Astoria has a history of reinventing itself.

Where the River meets the Ocean

The mighty Columbia River has shaped this little city into a resilient community. Fur traders, loggers, fishers, poets, painters, and musicians, this town has been home to many over the years.

Astoria is a balancing act. It’s old but feels new and exciting. It’s a small town but has that big city feel about it. The locals are a tight-knit community, but we welcome travelers.

A red tram with blurred motion passes by on a street, with plant boxes containing red and yellow flowers visible in the foreground.
A calm body of water with wooden posts protruding from the surface. Two large cargo ships are visible in the distance, with mountains under a clear blue sky in the background.

Explore art galleries and shops of local makers, tour the many breweries, museums, and historic downtown – this little town has more to offer than you may think.

The beach is just a short drive away. Head over to Fort Stevens State Park for miles of hiking and biking trails, historic sites, and boating options.
