It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west, Cascade Head which is part of the coast range on the south and the coast range on the east. The history portion of this website will attempt to document the history of the land and inhabitants of South Tillamook County as much as possible. |
I have spent the glowing days of happy childhood here. I have climbed the mountains and waded the streams. I have loitered in my boat on the silvery rivers and have lived on horse-back. I have spent the days of wistful girlhood here when it seemed those mountains stood as a barrier between me and all that my heart desired, the great wide world. Womanhood’s years with their responsibilities and their recompenses have come and mostly gone. I rejoice in it. I have found God here. So long have I lived with these: the hills, the rills, the deep dark forests, the graceful little ferns and the pale green billows of alders that they all seem a part of me. The changing moods of the mountains, the lights, the shades of the fog, crowned and sunlit Mount Hebo in its majesty of being, the sea with its song and its shore, with its gulls and dunes. All form parts of one great beautiful picture, and I am in the midst. I am a Tillamook Pioneer. Mrs. Charles NELSON Blum (Minnie Belle NELSON Blum) b 27 Mar 1877 - d 1 Apr 1960 (Minnie wrote a story about her time living south of Hebo, Oregon. You can find the story by clicking on "History" and then "Stories About South Tillamook County People, Places and Events" on the next webpage.)
