Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The early fur traders of Fort Astoria were celebrated as "Sinbads of the Wilderness" by Washington Irving. The author recounted the exploits of the Pacific Fur Company for his friend John Jacob Astor in an article called "Astoria," written in 1835. The article was meant to promote Astor's role in the western spread of American influence.
Present-day Astoria still occupies a strategic position at the mouth of the Columbia River, and life centers on the water. It is a city of under 10,000 people who are happy to live their lives amid the beautiful surroundings of the Pacific Northwest. One hundred years ago, Astoria was Oregon's second-largest city. Today, even though it has not changed a great deal, the city has given up its pre-eminent shipping and commercial trade position and reinvented itself as a center for tourism. Its port has been revitalized to serve cruise ships. A major city park project, The Garden of Surging Waves,celebrates the contributions of Chinese immigrants to the history of the city.
