History

In 1893, Thomas Malaney platted the town of Ocean Park (now Pacific City) directly across the river from Woods. When a flood in 1894 wiped out the first lots, Malaney moved the town south to higher ground. Unfortunately, the wind then reversed direction and strengthened, blowing the blaze around the previous burn and fanning it into the dry Coast Range, where it burned in the Yamhill basin for weeks, consuming of old growth forest - the largest such area destroyed in a single forest fire in the United States . Tourism in the 1920s became the mainstay of the economy, lasting until the depression of the 1930s. The area also became a "vacation" destination for Oregon Trail pioneers from the midwest, whom had never seen the ocean.
