| NEMAH | |
| Nemah is a farming community on Highway 101 and the Nemah rivers. Nemah is the site of an old Indian village and was a logging camp, 1890s to 1920s. A small band of Chinook Indians known as the "Marhoo" or "Nemar" camped on the river, fished for salmon and gathered oysters prior to the arrival of White settlers. The community developed near the mouth, or delta, of the three Nemah rivers (North, Middle and West Fork) in the 1890s. Access to the settlement was by water until the Ocean Beach highway was built in the 1920s. A logging railroad connected Nemah with several camps in the Willapa Hills- during and after WWI. The Nemah Community hall (formerly the schoolhouse) and several homes and farms are all that remain of the community. (Pacific County Historical Society) |
