Tillamook County Pioneer Association

Tillamook County enjoys a rich history. For thousands of years Native Americans lived and thrived on the rich lands surrounding Tillamook Bay.

Most of the written history that we have today begins August 14, 1788 when Captain Robert Gray sailed his ship Lady Washington into Tillamook Bay, and on April 1, 1851 when Joe Champion became the first white settler in Tillamook County. Tillamook County's Historic Past is preserved for everyone to enjoy at the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. The Tillamook County Pioneer Association has collected and maintains thousands of genealogical and historical records concerning past Tillamook County residents. The records are housed in the Museum's Library and are available for public use. Please contact the museum to make arrangements to use these records.
