Mist, Oregon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mist is an unincorporated community in Columbia County, Oregon, United States. It was named for the atmospheric conditions of the Nehalem Valley.
Earlier in the 20th century, Mist was an important logging center, complete with a railroad. Today, the population is sparse, and there is no longer a railroad.
On July 6, 2001, the Mist store, which was built in 1874, caught fire and was destroyed. Until then, it was the oldest continuously operated store in Oregon[citation needed] and the center of Mist.
