The MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW you'll ever see! - Longview WA - Kevin Hunter

SUBSCRIBE HERE!!    / kevinhunter7   Longview Washington was ranked in the top 10 most beautiful cities in the USA by Forbes. This beautiful rainbow is a small part of the beauty you can expect to see. Kevin Hunter recorded this video near the entrance of the historic Monticello Hotel in Longview WA. The sky was lit up with beautiful color! A must see! We love the Longview community. Not only was the city itself named one of the top most beautiful cities in America, but we are within a short driving distance of the ocean, several different mountain ranges, and some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see. For those of you who have never visited Longview, according to the history as recorded by Wikipedia, Longview got its start on the backbone of the lumber industry. The Long-Bell Lumber Company, led by Robert A. Long, made the decision in 1918 to buy a great expanse of timberland in Cowlitz County. A total of 14,000 workers were needed to run the two large mills as well as lumber camps that were planned. The number of workers needed was more than a lumber town, or the nearest town, could provide. Long planned and built a complete city in 1921 that could support a population of up to 50,000 and provide labor for the mills as well as attracting other industries. Several buildings in the city were built from Long's private funds. Other interesting details: The Longview area was first settled by European-Americans, led by pioneers Harry and Rebecca Jane Huntington, in 1849. The area was named Monticello in honor of Thomas Jefferson's home in Virginia. In 1852 a group assembled in what would be called the "Monticello Convention" to petition Congress for statehood to be called "Columbia". Congress agreed to statehood but as Washington, after President Washington, to avoid confusion with the District of Columbia. A monument to the convention is located near the Longview Civic Center. The area remained sparsely populated for nearly 60 years, consisting mostly of farmland and wilderness. In 1918, Missouri timber baron Robert A. Long (1850–1934) decided to move his operation out to the west coast, owing to the Long-Bell Lumber Company's dwindling supplies in the south. By 1921, the decision had been made by Wesley Vandercook to build a mill near the small town of Kelso, Washington. It was apparent that Kelso, with a population of barely 2,000 would not be able to support the approximately 14,000 men that would be required to run the mill. The Long-Bell company contracted with George Kessler, a city planner based in St. Louis, to build the city that would support the two mills that were now planned. Longview was officially incorporated on February 14, 1924. At the time of its conception, Longview was the only planned city of its magnitude to have ever been conceived of and built entirely with private funds. A number of prominent buildings in Longview were purchased with R. A. Long's personal funds, including R. A. Long High School, the Longview Public Library, the YMCA building and the Monticello Hotel.
