History

One notable resident was Billy Gohl, known locally as Billy "Ghoul", who was rumored to have killed at least 140 men. Although it became the largest and best known city in Grays Harbor, Aberdeen lagged behind neighbors Hoquiam, Washington and Cosmopolis, Washington in the early years. The Satsop Nuclear Plant was built in 1978, creating thousands of construction jobs with the promise of permanent employment once the plant was complete. West built the town's first sawmill in 1884, the other two municipalities had been in business for several years. (Gohl was convicted of 2 murders ) During the Great Depression, Aberdeen was hit hard, reducing the number of major saw mills from 37 to 9.
