Title Cover Image: Origin of Washington geographic names

LONG BEACH, a town in the western part of Pacific County. Professor W. D. Lyman says: "Between the head of the bay and its mouth is a strip of beach a mile or two wide and twenty miles long, which, commonly called Long Beach, is one of the most superb places of the kind in the country. There is an unbroken carriage drive on the hard beach of twenty miles." (History of the Pacific Northwest: Oregon and Washington, Volume II., page 104.)
