Kalama

Kalama is best known within Washington for its early role as a Northern Pacific Railroad terminus on the Columbia River. The town stands where the Kalama River enters the Columbia, on Washington’s shore opposite Oregon, in the lower-river corridor between Portland and Longview. Railroad interests founded Kalama in 1870, and its waterfront became an important transfer point linking rail traffic with river transport. The Port of Kalama continues that connection to the river, while forests and the wide Columbia shoreline define the setting in southwest Washington.
