LONGVIEW, WASHINGTON
Longview, located ninety miles from the Pacific Ocean at the confluence of the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers, is a relatively new city with a short but remarkable history. Less than seventy-five years ago, the area where Longview now stands was sparsely populated wilderness and rural homesteads.
Longview is a city with a unique history. 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. Longview was the direct result of industrial expansionism.
What makes Longview different from the majority of cities that have sprung up throughout history is that it was completely planned down to the last sidewalk and the last street name before construction ever began.
Longview was dedicated in July, 1923. In February of 1924, it was incorporated and a municipal government was established. Its history began in the roaring '20's and today Longview continues to grow in size and diversity. It is a fresh, new, healthy town with a promising future and an already rich past.
