History

(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. Recently a local sawmill was shut down, causing the community to lose 342 more jobs. 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. Mill owners hired Filipino and Jewish immigrants to keep wages low in order to stay in business . The timber industry continued to boom, but by the late 1970s most of the timber had been logged.
