Why this spot
1903-1945 hop-farm company town
Company town built from 1903 by hops merchant Herman Klaber, whose 200-acre hop yard and kiln were among the largest in the Pacific Northwest. Klaber died on the Titanic in 1912, the business struggled through the war and Prohibition, and the hop fields closed in 1945, after which the town withered.View source →
