Pacific County, named
after the Pacific Ocean, is
perched at the southwestern corner of Washington state. The ocean forms
its western border and the north shore of the Columbia River and
Wahkiakum County form its southern border. Grays Harbor County lies to
the north and Lewis County to the east. A distinctive geographical
feature is the 30-mile-long Long Beach Peninsula, which meets the ocean
on its western side and shelters Willapa Bay on its eastern side. In
1851 Pacific County was the third county created in what would become
Washington Territory.
