Astoria: The Major West Coast City That Never Was

Read the article: https://geographicgeoff.substack.com/... 🌳 Find me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/geographybygeoff 🗺️ Map store: https://geoffxmuirway.com/ Seattle and Portland make up the two major U.S. cities in the Pacific Northwest. But what if I told you that neither was every really intended to be THE major city in the region? In a different timeline, Astoria, Oregon was destined to rise to a level of prominence and population that the other two cities enjoy today. Unfortunately, due to a combination of geography and historic choices, Astoria is a fraction of the size. Here's why! In this video, we'll cover the history of how the U.S. first settled the west coast at Astoria, how the region was shaped by British and American politics, and why Astoria became irrelevant despite its strategic location at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River. -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net.
