Date
  • 1900/1940
Description
  • This is a view of Astoria in 1840. On April 12, 1812, the partners of John Jacob Ator, began the erection of a log fort at the place they had already named Astoria. In the location of this fort "America first placed her foot squarely upon the disputed territory of Oregon. During the war of 1812 the British took over Astoria and renamed it Fort George. In 1817 it again came into full possession of America and has ever since been an important seaport of the northwest.
