Tillamook County was formed in 1853 from Yamhill and Clatsop counties.
Dairy farms dominate the county's fertile valley.
It is the home of the world-famous Tillamook Cheese Factory. Commercial thinning will become increasingly evident. With 75 miles of scenic coastline, four bays and nine rivers, Tillamook County offers the finest deep-sea and stream fishing, charter and dory boats, clamming, crabbing, beachcombing and hiking. Its forests also furnish excellent hunting.
