Tillamook
County
Celebrating
150 Years of Pioneer Spirit
"Established
December 15, 1853"
Welcome
to Tillamook County - land of trees, cheese and ocean breeze. The
county was named after the Tillamook Indians who lived in the areas
surrounding the Tillamook and Nehalem Bays. When early settlers
saw these green valleys in 1851, they recognized that Tillamook’s mild
climate, abundant water, and year around pastures were perfect for
raising dairy cattle. Today, dairy farming remains a way of life
in Tillamook County, with over 150 family farms providing the milk used
to create the finest ice cream, and the world renowned Tillamook®
Cheese.
Recreational opportunities range from the most exhilarating to the most
relaxing, from sail boarding to sightseeing; from motocross to museums;
from catching salmon to just catching some sun rays, which are
sometimes more elusive. In addition, our coastal communities
offer shops full of local and unique products, art, antiques, exquisite
restaurants, and home cooked meals.
We have clamming, hunting, beautiful beaches to walk, sunrises and
sunsets to watch, surfing, kayaking, hang gliding, and five rivers that
flow into the Tillamook Bay that make fishing a must. The blue Pacific
Ocean offers boating, fishing, and beachcombing pleasures. Campers and
hunters enjoy spacious parks and green forest lands.
The major physical features of Tillamook County are a rocky and
irregular coastline, stretches of coastal lowlands, and heavily
timbered mountains which comprise the main span, and several spurs, of
the Coast Range. Principal industries are agriculture, lumber, fishing
and recreation. With seventy-five miles of coastline, four bays, and
nine rivers, recreational and tourist opportunities are numerous.
