Join the ranks of distinguished visitors, starting with Captain John Gray in 1792 and Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery in 1805. Astoria is a picturesque city that offers an interesting slice of American history. It's full of the pleasures of small-town life, such as beautiful Victorian homes, the 4.1-mile-long Astoria Bridge and the many fishing trips that offer the thrill of landing your own salmon, sturgeon or crab.
