Camas

Viac o knihe

The book explores the historical development of Camas, Oregon, founded by Henry Pittock in 1883 as a paper mill site. Named after the Camas lily, significant to the Chinook tribes, the colony thrived on agriculture. Incorporated in 1906 to regulate alcohol during Prohibition, Camas evolved through the mid-20th century as high-tech industries emerged alongside its traditional paper mill. Today, visitors enjoy the town's quaint cafes and antique shops at the Port of Camas, a site that once served as a rough landing amidst dense forests.
