| Nehalem Area History (686 words) |
| Nehalem was a typical western small town, with false-fronted buildings facing a main street that was partly built on pilings and fill ground right on the river's edge. |
| The Nehalem Union High school was built on the hillside overlooking the town, and is still standing and used as a Grammar School today. |
| The entire area was helped by the opening of the Coast highway, (U.S.101) that opened in 1941, that connected the north with the southern portion of highway, for the entire length of the state. |
